Of course Covid-19, and the reasonable precautions needed to slow its spread, have obviated some of the services, the facility is still open, still doing its job, and still providing some fantastic birds-eye-views of the Duluth, MN and Superior, WI area. They also still have packets full of local travel information for visitors. Great facility.

While in Harmony, don't miss a stop at the beautiful Harmony Visitors Center. Almost a museum, there are displays of fossils, artifacts, Karst geography, and sink holes. Besides the usual brochures and maps, you can enjoy a DVD of the Emmy Award winning documentary, "Mysteries of the Driftless". Ask to see the fossil of the squid tentacle!

The George Latimer Library (St. Paul Central Library) is built in the Renaissance Revival style and was designed by Electus Litchfield. Ground was broken for the building in 1914; the building including the Hill Reference Library cost approximately $1.5 Million to build. James J. Hill (founder of the Great Northern Railway) contributed $700,000 to the building of the reference library on the end, $100,000 was raised by subscription, $30,000 was received by bequest of Greenleaf Clark (an attorney for the Great Northern Railway), and the State of Minnesota authorized $600,000 in bonds to be sold to finance the rest. This building, the Central Library, opened in 1917. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975. Mayor George Latimer supported the creation of the Historic Preservation Commission in 1976, and the Central Library was designated a St. Paul Heritage Preservation Site in 1979. In 2014, the library was renamed for George Latimer to honor his contributions to historic preservation. I was able to wander through the collections of this library. I spoke to a librarian near the entrance she told me to enjoy myself. She was very nice. I first went up a couple of floors; the exterior elevator doors on the main level are very ornate. Also, note the extensive use of stone throughout; this building is built to last! It’s a very interesting and surprisingly bright building with a lot of natural light. And, when I first got there, the doors were held open for me by two Cub Scouts, a little boy and a little girl.
