The history of Lynn Lake is unique and fascinating. Lynn Lake is a mining town built in the early 1950s from homes moved from a community located 150 miles south. In winter, when there was enough snow on the ground and ice on the lakes, Linn tractors pulled sleigh after sleigh loaded with machinery, homes and buildings, food, and other materials required to build a town in order to develop the ore deposit discovered here. Come visit the Lynn Lake Mining Town Museum and experience for yourself what life was like in the early days. View an actual Linn Tractor pulling a home and learn more of our mining history.
