The Aitkin Carnegie Library is a Carnegie library in Aitkin , Minnesota , United States . It was designed by architects Claude & Starck and was built in the Classical Revival style . It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 . It is a one-story buff-colored brick building upon an elevated basement and a concrete foundation . It has a central classical pedimented portico . In 1981 it was deemed significant both for its role in the intellectual and cultural development of Aitkin and as a well-preserved example of the Minnesota small-town library structures financed by Andrew Carnegie , noted turn-of-the-century steel magnate . Aitkin citizens organized a free public library in 1904 . The library collection was temporarily housed in the village council chamber until the present structure 's construction in 1911 with a $ 6,500 grant from the Carnegie Foundation . The library , unlike many Carnegie-funded libraries which have been demolished or altered as community library systems have expanded , retains its original design integrity while continuing to serve the community in its intended educational role . Architecturally , the library is a notable local example of public Neo-classical design . While it was still serving as a library in 1981 , the building later served as the Jaques Art Center .
Aitkin ( /ˈeɪkɪn/ AY-kin ) is a city in Aitkin County , Minnesota , United States . The population was 2,165 at the 2010 census . It is the county seat of Aitkin County .
A Carnegie library is a library built with money donated by Scottish-American businessman and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie . A total of 2,509 Carnegie libraries were built between 1883 and 1929 , including some belonging to public and university library systems . 1,689 were built in the United States , 660 in the United Kingdom and Ireland , 125 in Canada , and others in Australia , South Africa , New Zealand , Serbia , Belgium , France , the Caribbean , Mauritius , Malaysia , and Fiji . At first , Carnegie libraries were almost exclusively in places where he had a personal connection - namely his birthplace in Scotland and the Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania area , his adopted home-town . Yet , beginning in the middle of 1899 , Carnegie substantially increased funding to libraries outside these areas . In later years few towns that requested a grant and agreed to his terms were refused . By the time the last grant was made in 1919 , there were 3,500 libraries in the United States , nearly half of them built with construction grants paid by Carnegie .
Neoclassical architecture is an architectural style produced by the neoclassical movement that began in the mid-18th century in Italy and France . In its purest form , it is a style principally derived from the architecture of classical antiquity , the Vitruvian principles , and the work of the Italian architect Andrea Palladio . The development of archaeology was crucial in the emergence of Neoclassical architecture . Excavation sites like those in Pompeii and Herculaneum allowed architects to make in depth interpretations of Classical architecture and synthesize their own unique style . In form , neoclassical architecture emphasizes the wall rather than chiaroscuro and maintains separate identities to each of its parts . The style is manifested both in its details as a reaction against the Rococo style of naturalistic ornament , and in its architectural formulae as an outgrowth of some classicising features of the Late Baroque architectural tradition . Therefore , the style defined by symmetry , simple geometry , and social demands instead of ornament . Neoclassical architecture is still designed today , but may be labelled New Classical Architecture for contemporary buildings . In Central and Eastern Europe , the style is usually referred to as Classicism , while the newer revival styles of the 19th century until today are called neoclassical .
The Aitkin County Courthouse and Jail , in Aitkin , Minnesota , United States , serves as the county seat of Aitkin County . The building is actually the second courthouse for the county . The first courthouse was built in 1888 , but in 1920 , a grand jury reported that the building was dangerous and falling apart . After difficulties securing financing , the county commissioners approved a plan for a new courthouse , which was finished in 1929 . The design mixes Beaux-Arts architecture and Moderne elements . The interior features marble wainscoting , oak woodwork , terrazzo floors , and stained glass skylights .
Beaux-Arts architecture ( /ˌboʊˈzɑːr/ ; French : [ bozaʁ ] ) was the academic architectural style taught at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris , particularly from the 1830s to the end of the 19th century . It drew upon the principles of French neoclassicism , but also incorporated Gothic and Renaissance elements , and used modern materials , such as iron and glass . It was an important style in France until the end of the 19th century . It also had a strong influence on architecture in the United States , because of the many prominent American architects who studied at the École des Beaux-Arts , including Henry Hobson Richardson , John Galen Howard , Daniel Burnham , and Louis Sullivan . :76
The Andy Gibson was a steamboat that serviced the headwaters of the Mississippi River in the U.S. state of Minnesota from 1884 to 1894 . After her retirement , the ship was left in a drydock outside her home port of Aitkin , Minnesota , and gradually dismantled for parts . The hull and drydock eventually sank out of sight . It is thus unique among U.S. shipwrecks for still resting on a drydock cradle . The Andy Gibson shipwreck ( Smithsonian trinomial 21AK109 ) was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012 for having state-level significance in the themes of commerce , engineering , entertainment/recreation , maritime history , non-aboriginal historic archaeology , and transportation . It was nominated for comprising the rare and well-preserved remains of a Mississippi River steamboat .
The Mississippi River is the second-longest river and chief river of the second-largest drainage system on the North American continent , second only to the Hudson Bay drainage system . From its traditional source of Lake Itasca in northern Minnesota , it flows generally south for 2,320 miles ( 3,730 km ) to the Mississippi River Delta in the Gulf of Mexico . With its many tributaries , the Mississippi 's watershed drains all or parts of 32 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces between the Rocky and Appalachian mountains . The main stem is entirely within the United States ; the total drainage basin is 1,151,000 sq mi ( 2,980,000 km2 ) , of which only about one percent is in Canada . The Mississippi ranks as the fourth-longest river and fifteenth-largest river by discharge in the world . The river either borders or passes through the states of Minnesota , Wisconsin , Iowa , Illinois , Missouri , Kentucky , Tennessee , Arkansas , Mississippi , and Louisiana . Native Americans have lived along the Mississippi River and its tributaries for thousands of years . Most were hunter-gatherers , but some , such as the Mound Builders , formed prolific agricultural societies . The arrival of Europeans in the 16th century changed the native way of life as first explorers , then settlers , ventured into the basin in increasing numbers . The river served first as a barrier , forming borders for New Spain , New France , and the early United States , and then as a vital transportation artery and communications link . In the 19th century , during the height of the ideology of manifest destiny , the Mississippi and several western tributaries , most notably the Missouri , formed pathways for the western expansion of the United States . Formed from thick layers of the river 's silt deposits , the Mississippi embayment is one of the most fertile regions of the United States ; steamboats were widely used in the 19th and early 20th centuries to ship agricultural and industrial goods .
A steamboat is a boat that is propelled primarily by steam power , typically driving propellers or paddlewheels . Steamboats sometimes use the prefix designation SS , S.S. or S/S ( for 'Screw Steamer ' ) or PS ( for 'Paddle Steamer ' ) ; however , these designations are most often used for steamships . The term steamboat is used to refer to smaller , insular , steam-powered boats working on lakes and rivers , particularly riverboats . As using steam became more reliable , steam power became applied to larger , ocean-going vessels .
A dry dock ( sometimes dry-dock or drydock ) is a narrow basin or vessel that can be flooded to allow a load to be floated in , then drained to allow that load to come to rest on a dry platform . Dry docks are used for the construction , maintenance , and repair of ships , boats , and other watercraft .

Speculation is the purchase of an asset ( a commodity , goods , or real estate ) with the hope that it will become more valuable in the near future . In finance , speculation is also the practice of engaging in risky financial transactions in an attempt to profit from short term fluctuations in the market value of a tradable financial instrument - rather than attempting to profit from the underlying financial attributes embodied in the instrument such as capital gains , dividends , or interest . Many speculators pay little attention to the fundamental value of a security and instead focus purely on price movements . Speculation can in principle involve any tradable good or financial instrument . Speculators are particularly common in the markets for stocks , bonds , commodity futures , currencies , fine art , collectibles , real estate , and derivatives . Speculators play one of four primary roles in financial markets , along with hedgers , who engage in transactions to offset some other pre-existing risk , arbitrageurs who seek to profit from situations where fungible instruments trade at different prices in different market segments , and investors who seek profit through long-term ownership of an instrument 's underlying attributes .
The Roaring Twenties ( sometimes stylized as the Roarin Twenties ) refers to the decade of the 1920s in Western society and Western culture . It was a period of economic prosperity with a distinctive cultural edge in the United States and Europe , particularly in major cities such as Berlin , Chicago , London , Los Angeles , New York City , Paris , and Sydney . In France , the decade was known as the années folles ( 'crazy years ' ) , emphasizing the era 's social , artistic and cultural dynamism . Jazz blossomed , the flapper redefined the modern look for British and American women , and Art Deco peaked . Not everything roared : in the wake of the patriotism of World War I , President Warren G. Harding brought back normalcy to the politics of the United States . This period saw the large-scale development and use of automobiles , telephones , movies , radio , and electrical appliances being installed in the lives of thousands of Westerners . Aviation soon became a business . Nations saw rapid industrial and economic growth , accelerated consumer demand , and introduced significantly new changes in lifestyle and culture . The media , funded by the new industry of mass-market advertising driving consumer demand , focused on celebrities , especially sports heroes and movie stars , as cities rooted for their home teams and filled the new palatial cinemas and gigantic sports stadiums . In many major democratic states , women won the right to vote . The right to vote had a huge impact on society . [ citation needed ] The social and cultural features known as the Roaring Twenties began in leading metropolitan centers and spread widely in the aftermath of World War I .
Bethlehem Lutheran Church ( also known as Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Bethlehem Church ) is a historic Lutheran church in Nordland Township , Minnesota , United States . The church was constructed in 1897 by Swedish immigrants . The Gothic Revival building features a square tower topped by a belfry and an octagonal spire . The church 's congregation formed in 1891 and was the second of five Swedish Lutheran churches established in the county . Aitkin County received a large influx of Swedish immigrants in the late 1800s , and the church is one of the best-preserved buildings constructed by the immigrant population upon their arrival . The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 .
Swedish Americans ( Swedish : Svenskamerikaner ) are Americans of at least partial Swedish ancestry . They primarily include the 1.2 million Swedish immigrants during 1885-1915 and their descendants . They formed tight-knit communities , primarily in the American Midwest , and intermarried with other Swedish-Americans . Most were Lutheran Christians with origins in the state Church of Sweden who were affiliated with predecessor bodies of what are now the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America ( ELCA ) from the mergers of 1988 or the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod ( 1847 ) , or the recent North American Lutheran Church ( NALC ) of 2010 ; some were Methodists following Wesleyan doctrine . Today , Swedish Americans are found throughout the United States , with Minnesota , California and Illinois being the top three states with the highest number of Swedish Americans . Historically , newly arrived Swedish immigrants settled in the Midwest , namely Minnesota , the Dakotas and Wisconsin , just as other Scandinavian Americans . Populations also grew in the Pacific Northwest in the states of Oregon and Washington at the turn of the twentieth century .
The Patrick Casey House is a historic house in Aitkin , Minnesota , United States . It was built in 1901 in a mix of Queen Anne and Neoclassical styles . Original owner Patrick Casey ( 1849-1910 ) was a partner in the Potter/Casey Company , the region 's leading retail chain . The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for having local significance in the themes of architecture and commerce . It was nominated for its association with one of Aitkin 's most prominent businessmen at the turn of the 20th century , and for being one of northern Minnesota 's few architecturally distinctive residences outside of Duluth and the Iron Range cities .
In the United States , Queen Anne-style architecture was popular from roughly 1880 to 1910 . Queen Anne was one of a number of popular architectural styles to emerge during the Victorian era . Within the Victorian era timeline , Queen Anne style followed the Eastlake style and preceded the Richardsonian Romanesque and Shingle styles . The style bears almost no relationship to the Queen Anne style architecture , a toned-down version of English Baroque mostly used for gentry houses , produced in the actual reign of Queen Anne from 1702 to 1714 . It describes a wide range of picturesque buildings with free Renaissance ( non-Gothic Revival ) details rather than of a specific formulaic style in its own right . Queen Anne , as an alternative both to the French-derived Second Empire and the less domestic Beaux-Arts architecture , is broadly applied to architecture , furniture and decorative arts of the period 1880 to 1910 ; some Queen Anne architectural elements , such as the wraparound front porch , continued to be found into the 1920s .
The Potter/Casey Company Building is a historic commercial building in Aitkin , Minnesota , United States . It was built in 1902 to house the expanding business of Aitkin County 's leading retailer and to lease office space to other businesses on the second floor . It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for having local significance in the theme of commerce . It was nominated for representing Aitkin County 's most successful commercial enterprise at the turn of the 20th century .
Duluth /dəˈluːθ/ ( listen ) is a major port city in the U.S. state of Minnesota and the county seat of Saint Louis County . Duluth has a population of 85,884 and is the 4th largest city in Minnesota . It is the 2nd largest city on Lake Superior , after Thunder Bay , Ontario . It has the largest metropolitan area on the lake , with a population of 279,771 in 2010 , the second-largest in the state . Situated on the north shore of Lake Superior at the westernmost point of the Great Lakes , Duluth is accessible to oceangoing vessels from the Atlantic Ocean 2,300 miles ( 3,700 km ) away via the Great Lakes Waterway and the Saint Lawrence Seaway . Duluth forms a metropolitan area with neighboring Superior , Wisconsin ; together they are called the Twin Ports . The cities share the Duluth-Superior harbor and together are the Great Lakes ' largest port , transporting coal , iron ore ( taconite ) , and grain . A tourist destination for the Midwest , Duluth features the United States ' only all-freshwater aquarium , the Great Lakes Aquarium ; the Aerial Lift Bridge , which spans the Duluth Ship Canal into the Duluth-Superior Harbor ; and Minnesota Point ( known locally as Park Point ) , the world 's longest freshwater baymouth bar , spanning 6 miles ( 10 km ) . The city is also the starting point for vehicle trips along Minnesota 's North Shore . The city is named for Daniel Greysolon , Sieur du Lhut , the first known European explorer of the area .
The term Iron Range refers collectively or individually to a number of elongated iron-ore mining districts around Lake Superior in the United States and Canada . Despite the word range , the iron ranges are not mountain chains , but outcrops of Precambrian sedimentary formations containing high percentages of iron . These cherty iron ore deposits are Precambrian in age for the Vermilion Range , while middle Precambrian in age for the Mesabi and Cuyuna ranges , all in Minnesota . The Gogebic Range in Wisconsin and the Marquette Iron Range and Menominee Range in Michigan have similar characteristics and are of similar age . Natural ores and concentrates were produced from 1848 until the mid 1950s , when taconites and jaspers were concentrated and pelletized , and started to become the major source of iron production . The far eastern area , containing the Duluth Complex along the shore of Lake Superior , and the far northern area , along the Canada-US border , of the region are not associated with iron ore mining . Due to its shape , the area is collectively referred to as the Arrowhead region of Minnesota . It consists of seven counties : Aitkin , Carlton , Cook , Itasca , Koochiching , Lake , and Saint Louis .
Malmo Mounds and Village Site is a mound group in Aitkin County , Minnesota , located on the northeast shore of Mille Lacs Lake . The property was placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the Department of the Interior in 1975 due to its archeological and cultural significance . This area was first surveyed in 1893 by W.H . Winchell and again in 1899 by J.V . Brower and David I. Bushnell . Brower and Bushnell identified 128 mounds and noted that the site was an ideal location for a village site . In 1936 , a group from the University of Minnesota , led by Gordon Erkholm , excavated 13 mounds . The information from this survey was the basis for Dr. Wilford 's Mille Lacs Aspect of the Minnesota Woodland period . Over the past hundred years , [ when ? ] there has been a number of factors that have led to the destruction of over half of the original mound group . Many of the mounds were leveled in 1939 during the building of highway 18 , others were leveled in order to build lake cottages , and many have small pits dug into them . No scholarly work has been done at the site since 1970 .
McGrath is a city in Aitkin County , Minnesota , United States . The population was 80 at the 2010 census .
In the classification of archaeological cultures of North America , the Woodland period of North American pre-Columbian cultures spanned a period from roughly 1000 BCE to European contact in the eastern part of North America , with some archaeologists distinguishing the Mississippian period , from 1000 CE to European contact as a separate period . The term Woodland Period was introduced in the 1930s as a generic term for prehistoric sites falling between the Archaic hunter-gatherers and the agriculturalist Mississippian cultures . The Eastern Woodlands cultural region covers what is now eastern Canada south of the Subarctic region , the Eastern United States , along to the Gulf of Mexico . This period is variously considered a developmental stage , a time period , a suite of technological adaptations or traits , and a family tree of cultures related to earlier Archaic cultures . It can be characterized as a chronological and cultural manifestation without any massive changes in a short time but instead having a continuous development in stone and bone tools , leather crafting , textile manufacture , cultivation , and shelter construction . Many Woodland peoples used spears and atlatls until the end of the period , when they were replaced by bows and arrows ; however , Southeastern Woodland peoples also used blowguns . The most cited technological distinction of this period was the widespread use of pottery ( although pottery manufacture had arisen during the Archaic period in some places ) , and the diversification of pottery forms , decorations , and manufacturing practices . The increasing use of horticulture and the development of the Eastern Agricultural Complex , consisting of weedy seed plants as well as gourd cultivation , also meant that groups became less mobile over time and , in some times and places , people lived in permanently occupied villages and cities . Intensive agriculture characterizes the Mississippian period from c. 1000-1400 CE and may have continued up to European contact , around 500 years ago .
In archaeology a type site ( also known as a type-site or typesite ) is a site that is considered the model of a particular archaeological culture . For example , the type site of the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A culture is Jericho , in the West Bank . A type site is also often the eponym ( the site after which the culture is named ) . For example , the type site of the pre-Celtic/Celtic Bronze Age Hallstatt culture is the lakeside village of Hallstatt , Austria . In geology the term is used similarly for a site considered to be typical of a particular rock formation etc . A type site contains artifacts , in an assemblage , that are typical of that culture . Type sites are often the first or foundational site discovered about the culture they represent . The use of this term is therefore similar to that of the specimen type in biology ( see biological types ) or locus typicus ( type locality ) in geology .
The National Woodenware Company Superintendent 's Residence is a historic house in Hill City , Minnesota , United States . It was built in 1910 as housing for the local manager of a manufacturing plant that produced wooden buckets and tubs for Armour and Company . The National Woodenware Company relocated to Hill City from Ithaca , Michigan , in 1910 , purchasing a third of the town 's lots , constructing residences for its employees , and tripling the population . The Superintendent 's Residence was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for having local significance in the themes of exploration/settlement and industry . It was nominated for being the most prominent reminder of Hill City 's principal employer and developer in the early 20th century .
Hill City is a city in Aitkin County , Minnesota , United States . The population was 633 at the 2010 census . Hill City is located along U.S. Highway 169 and Minnesota State Highway 200 .
Armour & Company was an American company and was one of the five leading firms in the meat packing industry . It was founded in Chicago , in 1867 , by the Armour brothers led by Philip Danforth Armour . By 1880 , the company had become Chicago 's most important business and had helped make Chicago and its Union Stock Yards the center of America 's meatpacking industry . During the same period , its facility in Omaha , Nebraska , boomed , as well , making the city 's meatpacking industry the largest in the nation by 1959 . In connection with its meatpacking operations , the company also ventured into pharmaceuticals ( Armour Pharmaceuticals ) and soap manufacturing , introducing Dial soap in 1948 . Presently , the Armour food brands are split between refrigerated meat ( Armour , owned by Smithfield Foods ) and canned shelf-stable meat products ( Armour Star , owned by ConAgra Brands ) . The Armour pharmaceutical brand is owned by Forest Laboratories . Dial soap is now owned by Henkel .
Aitkin station in Aitkin , Minnesota , United States , is a brick passenger depot built on the Northern Pacific Railway mainline in 1916 . The rail line is now part of the BNSF Railway . The depot symbolizes the importance of the railroad in Aitkin 's growth and development . The railroad line was initially built in 1871 . By the early 1900s , Aitkin was emerging as the region 's leading supply center , and the old wood-framed depot was considered grossly inadequate . The railway started construction of the new brick depot in 1915 . It was built in the Mission Revival style with cut-stone trimmings and a German tile roof . Passenger traffic ended in the 1960s . The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 as the Northern Pacific Depot . The building is now occupied by the Aitkin County Historical Society as the Depot Museum . Exhibits focus on the heritage of Aitkin County , including riverboating on the upper Mississippi , Native American culture and immigrant pioneers .

The New Deal was a series of programs , public work projects , financial reforms , and regulations enacted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the United States between 1933 and 1939 . It responded to needs for relief , reform , and recovery from the Great Depression . Major federal programs and agencies included the Civilian Conservation Corps ( CCC ) , the Civil Works Administration ( CWA ) , the Farm Security Administration ( FSA ) , the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 ( NIRA ) and the Social Security Administration ( SSA ) . They provided support for farmers , the unemployed , youth and the elderly . The New Deal included new constraints and safeguards on the banking industry and efforts to re-inflate the economy after prices had fallen sharply . New Deal programs included both laws passed by Congress as well as presidential executive orders during the first term of the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt . The programs focused on what historians refer to as the 3 Rs : relief for the unemployed and poor , recovery of the economy back to normal levels , and reform of the financial system to prevent a repeat depression . The New Deal produced a political realignment , making the Democratic Party the majority ( as well as the party that held the White House for seven out of the nine presidential terms from 1933 to 1969 ) with its base in liberal ideas , the South , traditional [ clarification needed ] Democrats , big city machines and the newly empowered labor unions and non-whites and ethnic whites . The Republicans were split , with conservatives opposing the entire New Deal as hostile to business and economic growth and liberals in support . The realignment crystallized into the New Deal coalition that dominated presidential elections into the 1960s while the opposing conservative coalition largely controlled Congress in domestic affairs from 1937 to 1964 .
National Park Service rustic - sometimes colloquially called Parkitecture - is a style of architecture that developed in the early and middle 20th century in the United States National Park Service ( NPS ) through its efforts to create buildings that harmonized with the natural environment . Since its founding in 1916 , the NPS sought to design and build visitor facilities without visually interrupting the natural or historic surroundings . The early results were characterized by intensive use of hand labor and a rejection of the regularity and symmetry of the industrial world , reflecting connections with the Arts and Crafts movement and American Picturesque architecture . Architects , landscape architects and engineers combined native wood and stone with convincingly native styles to create visually appealing structures that seemed to fit naturally within the majestic landscapes . Examples of the style can be found in numerous types of National Park structures , including entrance gateways , hotels and lodges , park roads and bridges , visitor centers , trail shelters , informational kiosks , and even mundane maintenance and support facilities . Many of these buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places .
Savanna Portage State Park is a state park of Minnesota , USA , established in 1961 to preserve the historic Savanna Portage , a difficult 6-mile ( 9.7 km ) trail connecting the watersheds of the Mississippi River and Lake Superior . The portage trail crosses a drainage divide separating the West Savanna River , which drains to the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico , from the East Savanna River , which flows in an opposite direction to the Saint Louis River , Lake Superior and the Great Lakes , and the Saint Lawrence River to the Atlantic Ocean . Savanna Portage was a canoe portage used by Native Americans for centuries before being used by European explorers , fur traders , Voyageurs , coureurs des bois , and missionaries of the 18th and 19th centuries . It was a vital link connecting the Mississippi waterways to the west with the Great Lakes to the east . The portage was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 for having state-level significance in the themes of commerce , exploration/settlement , and transportation . The park which now contains it is located 17 miles ( 27 km ) north and east of McGregor , Minnesota , and approximately 50 miles ( 80 km ) west of Duluth .
