On This Date in Minnesota History: December 6

December 6, 1951 – On this date, a large fire consumed northern Minnesota’s Lutsen Resort for the third time. The first fire happened in early 1948, and the second on Oct. 21 in the same year.  The current lodge was built after the 1951 fire, using a “Scandinavian design by Edwin Lundie.”
