On February 5, 1924, a shaft collapse flooded the Milford Mine on the Cuyuna Iron Range, killing 41 miners in the worst mining accident in Minnesota history; only seven men escaped. Crow Wing County developed the site into a memorial park, opening interpretive trails, kiosks, and a memorial wall in 2016.
