Oliver Club

With the mining activities expanding and the village of Hibbing's population growing, there was a lack of entertainment for the miners, so the Oliver Iron Mining Company constructed a building which was once known as the Oliver Club.

It had a two lane bowling alley, four pool tables, card room, a library, tennis court and an area where candy, ice cream and beverages were sold.

Many miners met at the Oliver Club as it was a place to meet and socialize with other friends.

The club was located three blocks north of this spot before being moved.

Marker is on Lincoln Street east of 2nd Avenue North, on the left when traveling east.
