Memorials
Today, a 37-mile (60 km) section of the Willard Munger State Trail, from Hinckley to Barnum, is a memorial to the fire and the devastation it caused. There are several memorials. In the town of Hinckley on Highway 61, the Hinckley Fire Museum is located in the former Northern Pacific Railway depot. It sits just a few feet north of where the original depot burned in the fire. It is open from May 1 until the end of October. The Brook Park Cemetery on Co Rd 126, south of MN 23, has a historical marker plaque and a memorial to the 23 victims of Brook Park, with a tall obelisk on top of a granite marker.
