MAY 16, 2023: Take a Hike and Help Add Signs Along the Historic Incline Steps
Friends of the Incline Steps invite you to help with our fundraising for signage along the path so you can explore this history too. Our goal is to raise $4,000.
The Seventh Avenue Incline Railway (“Duluth Skyride”) ran from 1891 to 1939, providing transportation from downtown to the newly developing west hillside neighborhood. All that remain are some of the stairs that followed alongside the tracks. They are a connection to another time in Duluth’s history that we don’t want lost to overgrowth and memory. The Duluth Preservation Alliance (DPA) and the ECO Rotary Club of Duluth and Superior have teamed up to help raise money needed for the signage. Both have pledged $1,000 donations, so we are halfway to the goal! Now we need your help. There are two ways to donate:- The DPA is a 501(c)(3) organization, and your donation will be tax deductible.
