Lost Duluth - Full Documentary

This is the story of people and places lost to history; of mysterious ruins, forgotten markers and outdated industries; of what was back then. This is the story of "Lost Duluth."

The roots of Duluth began at an Ojibwe settlement along the St. Louis River and with the arrival of European settlers grew to eleven townships in all; they stretched from Fond du Lac to Lester Park. From Duluth's humble beginnings sprang industry after industry, including a harbor busier than any other in the United States, including the port of New York.

Met my wife while working for Target in Duluth in 1976. Will always be a soft spot in my heart for the town.

Interesting enjoyable documentary. Visited the railroad museum in Duluth in the very early 90's and while there noticed a missing part on one the locomotives in the collection. Lucky for them I had the part needed at home in Washington state and after returning home it was packaged and sent to the museum as a donation. Later the museum wrote a nice letter saying the piece had been installed. Knowing that it was back where it belonged was better than having it in my collection of railroad artifacts.
I found Duluth well worth the visit, wish I had the additional knowledge contained in this documentary at the time of my visit.

It's rad to see all the spots we drive and walk by daily and ignore, and realize the real incredible history in their old bones. There really ain't no city like this one. When I wander I'm always happy to cross the ridge back to ol' gitchee gumee and my home.

All the things that make Duluth unique. I first came here in 1974 as an airforce brat & have loved it ever since!!

This is so interesting. I've attended schools and colleges in Florida and Texas, yet I never heard one word about Duluth. There is so much history there.

If you can get past the pixilation it is a very interesting documentary. Well done-many facets of that old gem Duluth are examined. I learned a lot.

This was such an awesome documentary I've been going to Duluth every summer for my entire life as a young kid I even lived there for a better part of 10 years I didn't know almost half of the stuff that I saw in this documentary wow the history in Duluth it almost makes me want to move back there just to be a part of it all so cool so glad I found this definitely worth watching

It's a bummer that they tore down all those awesome building from the earlier days that would have made Duluth "look like Prague." What a shame. I still love Duluth though, you can't beat having Lake Superior as your neighbor. This is an interesting and familiar documentary, thanks for sharing.

[highwinds]

swear I'm going to die in this town, I leave but always end up back here in Duluth.
This is interesting though I didn't think I'd find any videos on the history of Duluth, so thanks .

It's such a shame they tore all the old houses down they were beautiful pieces of work nothing like the boring buildings we have today

Great show! I do enjoy the ghostly nature of Duluth. It had a history on every corner and every unique neighborhood.
