Minnesota City Flood photos 1947
Here are some photos of Minnesota City I haven't seen before. They are from the April 12, 1947 edition of the Winona Republican Herald newspaper. The paper had an article titled "Minnesota City A Town of Memories" which documented the history and challenges of the early settlers. No reporter is listed for the story. I am assuming these pictures date from 1947 or around that time. The newspaper notes the photos were originally from the St. Paul Pioneer Press (no date given). Click on images to enlarge.
