This winter, the Hinckley Fire Museum welcomed a very special visitor! Baby Jack Norton, the great-grandson of Jack Peel.

Jack Peel was a native of Hinckley, where he and his wife, Luella, raised their family and created beautiful authentic Ojibwe items that are now displayed at the museum. Visitors can also see a life-sized wigwam built by Jack himself.

Pictured here is baby Jack in a traditional Ojibwe cradleboard handcrafted and hand-beaded by Jack and Luella, which is also on display at the museum.

Come visit the Hinckley Fire Museum and experience these unique pieces of local history and heritage!
