A television crew interviewed Gloria Perpich.  She told the story about her father, Joe Sabyn, who almost died in the disaster.  He was a mechanic who worked in the 45 degree underground temperature at 200 feet.   Sabyn was called back to the surface in -10 degree weather to do repairs on equipment, just an hour before the flood.  He related the story many times while he was alive.

Donald Hyattman, 86, in the yellow shirt, was an underground miner years ago too and told of how dangerous it was to work down below.

Bryan Pike is the Natural Resource Manager in the Land Services Department of Crow Wing County.  He was in change of overseeing the park project and is proud of how it came out.  Shown is the location of the mine shaft, along with some wheels from a narrow gauge railroad.  The original building and elevator are long since gone, but the history of the event lives on.
 

Plenty of information along the way to inform visitors about what life was like back then.
