While I'd like to make a history site about Mound and the Minnetonka,
I am 2,000 miles from the needed archives, so that's not going to
happen any time soon. A couple times per week I see graphics on the web relating to the area. They are most often poor quality scans of post cards, but they're interesting for someone like me who has never seen them before and/or has been away from "home" for decades. I'll post as I find them if I feel they're interesting. While the people who live in the Minnetonka area are flooded with related information both current and historical, both types are far more rare for people like me who are living in other countries or states. If you are living "remote" as I am then you may enjoy looking at these. When you're finished send me some digital images of your old Mound photo's or other ephemera attached as a JPE, JPG or GIF to Email, with or without your narrative and moniker for attribution. If you know anything about these pictures or something else related I'd like to hear about it. If you want to remain anonymous that's fine. In any case, stop by again in a few months as I should have found a few dozen more poor quality scans by then. When ever I find a better example of a picture I already have on this site it replaces the inferior one. |

Please note: image maps must fully load before
they link. The following image maps each link to 9 other image maps which show larger versions of the pictures, 24 at a time. If you click on any of these 24 you will go to a page which will show you an even larger version of the picture, and include comments about it written by me or the contributor. I have created 430+ pages for now, and will expand as I locate more material. Note: Consistant with my desire to have pages on this site load as rapidly as possible I have moved the Image maps to their own pages rather than having them on this one. Below is a set of "text" type links which can be used to go to the larger Image maps or if you wish below those are direct textual links to the smaller Image maps. The black numbers are not linked yet. (So send your images and comments in e-mail and help me link them.) 1st Image map Set of 216 pix. 2nd Image map Set of 216 pix. (partially filled) Individual Image Maps: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | List of pages by SUBJECT or by NUMBER |

| End of October 2002 I'll add ... More... Scans found on the Web. | ||

Looking for "anything" of Mound or Lake Minnetonka area 3 Decades old or older. If you would like to post that photo(s) you took of your family or friends in or near Mound decades ago or that advertising from the local drive in theater, or what ever ... attach it to e-mail as a jpeg (jpe jpg)or gif with your comments and who to credit it too. Of course if a photo, it should contain something related to the subject of this site. (I will edit or reject items if needed for legal or practical reasons.) Try to include 'When' , 'Where', 'Who', 'What',and if you are in a philosophical mood, 'Why'. If you send something by email attachment make your subject line the word "History" or "Mound" otherwise it may get lost in the deluge of spam. This site is not affiliated with any commercial organization. |

| You will notice some maps are empty. I will add things as I find them. I also replace existing pictures when I find better examples. | ||
Click in the middle of a thumbnail or link to go to a specific page. A few
graphics are large and will take a little time to load.

Picturing Lake Minnetonka
A Post Card History by James W. Ogland and published by the
Minnesota Historical Society. Graphics of far greater quality and variety
than anything you'll find on the net, unless of course you visit the Minnesota
Historical Society. The book is filled with fascinating historical information
about the Lake Minnetonka area. A great gift for anyone who lives near the
"Great Waters" or once did. It is also a great way to support your
historical society and works of local historical importance. I know this sounds like an advertisement but I'm not affiliated in any way to anyone involved with "Picturing Lake Minnetonka". I love history, and believe it's important. If you like what I have on this site you'll probably want this book. |
