This year, 2025, marks the White Pine Public Museum’s 65th Anniversary! Celebrate by visiting the museum, checking out the curated exhibits, and becoming a Cave Bear Club member today!

Don’t forget to also visit the Museum’s sister site, the McGill Drugstore. A large time capsule, the Drugstore houses products on the shelves that date back to the 1950s. Records still exist of every client the drugstore had, and the building is a dedicated preservation site with free admission. An easy northbound drive of Ely and open 10am-3pm Thursdays to Sundays, be sure to say hi to Keith for us!
