On the corner of Myrtle and Main Streets in Stillwater, Minnesota began. So why here? Well... when Wisconsin became a state in 1848, that left people WEST of the St. Croix river “high and dry” with no government. So, the people of Stillwater held a territorial convention right hereand voted to send a delegate to Washington D.C. to organize a new territory called “Minnesota”which became a territory in 1849, and a state in 1858.
John & his producer Lois Maurer on the drive home as they chat about their impressions of the community and share interesting stories that may have hit the cutting room floor.
