What would U.S. history look like without Minnesota's Iron Range?

It is no exaggeration to state that the history of the U.S. would be different without the iron ore produced by the people who lived and worked on the Iron Range of Minnesota. The Mesabi, Vermilion, and Cuyuna Iron Ranges produced billions of tons of high-grade iron ore used to manufacture the steel that built America and resulted in victory in World War I and World War II.

Come and hear Ms. Pamela Brunfelt of Vermilion Community College talk about why industrialization in the United States was largely the story of Minnesota's Iron Range.
