Minnesota Mayhem
Minnesota Mayhem: A History of Calamitous Events, Horrific Accidents, Dastardly Crime & Dreadful Behavior in the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes | Ben Welter
5 posts
Turn back the yellowing pages of Minnesota's past and explore the best of the state's worst moments, as chronicled in the Minneapolis Tribune and its successor newspapers. These stories and photos, culled from the Star Tribune's microfilm archive by author Ben Welter, range from the catastrophic to the merely curious. From a fire that destroyed the State Capitol in 1881, to a wordless fistfight that broke out on a Minneapolis street in 1898, a flu outbreak that killed more than 10,000 Minnesotans in 1918 and the arrest of Frank Lloyd Wright at a Lake Minnetonka cottage in 1926.

A box from me went out to Minnesota today...a little bit late for my #summerbookswap - I apologize. I hope my Litten friend on the other end loves the books though!
I‘ve had a crap summer, and an even crappier week, so it‘s a wonder I‘m getting to any task right now. My books are keeping my brain from collapsing in on itself.
Thursday I discuss MRI results with my neuro so I‘m feeling very nervous 🤞🏼 I‘ve seen prelim results already 😫

Looks like I'll be traveling to Two Harbors, MN for work March 9, do any of my Litsy friends live up that way? I've never been that far north! Only 3 hours from Canada, I may need to make a mini trip up that way too! ❤️❤️

Tamra Pack warm! 😉 6y
shendrix413 @Tamra I know! I don't at all have the clothes to be there!!! 6y
SandyW We visited a friend in MN last year and stayed in a cabin on lake superior. It was beautiful and cold. Try to get to Split Rock lighthouse. It was lovely. Much of the attractions are closed at that time of year, including the lighthouse, but the park was open... 6y

MeganAnn We used to take a snowmobile trip there every year with my husband‘s family. There is a very cool waterfall nearby that completely freezes in the winter so it‘s just a cascading wall of ice. It‘s absolutely beautiful! I can‘t remember what it‘s called, but a quick search of the area should pull it up as it‘s quite well known. 6y
shendrix413 @MeganAnn thanks! That sounds awesome! I will definitely check that out! 6y
