Landmarks Re-open

Two Fort Frances landmarks re-open to the public today for the first time in more than a decade.

Fort Frances Museum curator Pam Cain says there will be a user pay system in place for people to climb the tower or board the Hallet.

"People will be getting a tag that has an access code," says Cain. "The tower and Hallet have a punch-code system for people to access. They've be getting a code that's good for the day when they purchase their admission. That admission will be good for the Tower, Hallet and Museum.

Admission is $3.50 for adults and $2.50 for children.

There is also a special rate for families and purchases are made at the Sorting Gap Marina or Museum.

An official opening of the two landmarks will be held June 4.
