Mound

 

When and What:  Casco Point around 1905. Paths but no streets as we now know them. Out in the boondocks there are also virtually none of the amenities of the city. No phones, electricity, and probably no indoor plumbing here either. Lots of fresh air and quiet . Almost no cars or motor boats other than the occasional steamer. A few times per day the whistle of a distant steam locomotive could be heard as it passed on it's journey to Mound or Minneapolis. Minnetonka's wooded shores were famous for their fish and game. At night tourists would sit in quiet conversation, and listen to the sounds of loons on the lake.

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.
