http://collections.mnhs.org/visualresources/photocollection.cfm. It will
bring you to the Minnesota Historical Society's photo collection. Try
searching for Lake Nokomis. You'll find 80 year old photos of the dredging
and landscaping operations that gave us the lake and park as we know them
today.
The collection includes an incredible assortment of photos going back to the
late 19th century. Search for other subjects in the area, or anywhere in
Minnesota.
There are lot's of fun things to discover. I entered "Hallock, Minnesota"
into search and a photograph of my great-grandfather, Peter Lindahl's home
came up. Try "Teddy Roosevelt" and you'll find a photo of the former
president speaking at the old Minneapolis Moline plant-the present site of
the Lake Street Target store.-----Original Message-----
