There's something magical about our little village nestled along the shore of Lake Superior. Strolling from shop to shop, with the sound of seagulls, the smell of smoked fish, and sailboats gliding lazily in and out of the harbor, you are transported to a simpler way of life.

Imagine this village filled with quaint shops: a log cabin filled with colorful handmade quilts and bolts of fabric; a Ben Franklin store reminiscent of an earlier time, its shelves filled with dry goods and special treasures. A "Trading Post" stocked with everything a traveler needs and wants. Yarn shops tucked here and there in charming little houses, baskets filled with colorful yarns.

Shops filled with books, for those rainy "curl up and read" days, and eclectic gifts from around the world and local artisans too. Shops with homemade edibles and "country store" candy, and galleries featuring "Art of the North." Shops with warm woolen sweaters and mittens for cold winter mornings, clothing to hike in, or a dress for that romantic dinner, as you toast the day and watch a blazing, red sunset over the harbor.

Experience our farmer's market replete with garden produce, herbs, and locally harvested maple syrup. Sprinkle in hand-woven rag rugs, baskets, pottery, and hand crafted furniture, and you’ll find a "basketfuls" of treasures to gather and take home with you.

Our food co-op is filled to overflowing with fresh bread, eggs, cheese, organic produce, and fragrant roasted coffee beans.

All this, and more, is what our village has to offer.

So . . . come to Grand Marais and "Shop the Village." We know when your day is done, you’ll feel the magic too!
