Letteracy Deck at the History Museum was a research destination for summer Story Scouts writing letters and working on the Mini-museum Exhibit.

Purpose: To Connect & REflect

Introducing Letteracy Deck 
Letteracy Deck is a new and novel free public letter writing park on Lake Superior in downtown Grand Marais. It has two outdoor deck locations: on the harbor and the east bay, which is an extension of the Cook County History Museum.

​Indoor space in the Museum allowed our 2024 expansion of the Mini-museum Exhibit space on the famed Ojibwe mail carrier John Beargrease and the importance of letters to Grand Marais' culture and historic sense of multicultural community.
