Historical Hibbing
This Hibbing Walking Tour was adapted from one created as a Centennial Project in 1993 by the Hibbing Daily Tribune and Roger Saccoman Architecture. The walk is written to start at Hibbing Memorial Building, but it can actually be started anywhere along the route. There are also many other historic and aesthetically beautiful sites in Hibbing not on the tour. The 22 numbered sites listed were chosen a s examples to give visitors and native alike a sense of Hibbing's history. The walk is approximately two miles in length.
Enjoy the map and guide for the North Hibbing - Hull Rust Mahoning Mine Walking Tour. The Historical data provided was documented by Patricia Mestek, former Director of the Hibbing Historical Society. Start the walking tour from the parking lot at 5th Avenue East and 16th Street.
This tour was developed by staff at the Hibbing Public Library. It takes you along a path that could have been walked by Bob Dylan. Photographs of Feldman’s, L&B Café, the Synagogue, and the Alice School are the property of Aubin Photo Studio in Hibbing. The walk starts at the building that was Zimmerman Electric and ends at the Androy, the site of Bob’s Bar Mitzvah celebration. This walking tour is approximately 1.9 miles. We even have a podcast for this tour. Listen to it ahead of time or download it to your MP3 player and take it with you.
