EARLY HINCKLEY: THE FIRE
The Ojibwe had lived near the St. Croix River since the mid-1800’s, amidst the natural wealth the land had to offer. Because of the abundance of white pine trees in the Hinckley area, loggers migrated here and built the first saw mill in 1869. That same year, the Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad pushed into Hinckley With the coming of the railroad, the lumber industry boomed and for twenty years, Hinckley was a growing, prosperous town.
On September 1, 1894, all of that changed. With blowing winds, low humidity and less than two inches of summer rain, the area was a prime target for fire. Drought fires were common along the railroad tracks and logging camps, since loggers would set fire to slash before moving on. Hinckley Fire Museum Saturday, September 1, 1894, began as another oppressively hot day with smaller fires threatening area towns. To add to the problem, a huge layer of cool air PU from a temperature inversion held down the heat, smoke 320-384-7338 Open12/14/2018 May 1 – October 23 and gasses of these fires.
