The John Dwan Office Building in Two Harbors, MN, is a historical site where the incorporation papers for the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, now known as 3M, were drawn up in 1902. Despite initial challenges, including mining a useless mineral and adhesive process issues, the company survived with support from Lucius Pond Ordway and shifted its focus to manufacturing abrasives.
Today, the building houses the 3M Museum, operated by the Lake County Historical Society, featuring exhibits such as a recreated law office, company artifacts, a lab display showcasing 3M's research and development work, and interactive technology applications programs.
