I have a 1940s northern pacific railroad spike it has NP HC on top

The library has been ruined - tell us about that!

Great little documentary. Would love to see more about historical buildings in Champaign-Urbana, like the WPA funded buildings of the Art Deco City Building of Champaign, Champaign Central High School, and the University of Illinois student union.

am I not worthy? Wanna see my basement?

I'm a Jasinski. My Great Grandpa was Al. Very sad how town has become. I'm riding my bike around documenting caves. Grandmother was a nurse at the state schools from her graduation till her retirement. Thank you for this. Cheers. Meet you at the ol' Fleckenstein brewery.

I have a VERY interesting story about my experience with a building that I moved from that farm to my place by Madison Lake. I never fully believed in supernatural beings until this experience! I’d love to share it with you.

My Great GrandPappy Alonzo D. Harrison was the Contractor that Built that Hotel.

It's funny how it's all about the white people? Honestly, the ones who suffered the most were the natives. The reason why the natives revolted is hardly , if ever mentioned. And the number of natives seems to be greatly exaggerated . But like Robert Bruce said, history is written by those who have hanged heroes.

And that's how you deal with a tough Yegg like that!

This house is the most wonderful bed and breakfast!!!!

The building was abandoned by Munsingwear in 1962, not 1982. Fleet opened in the 1960’2.

I didn’t recognize anyone. I was a 5 year old living in Minneapolis in 1957! A very nostalgic film. I Remember many people at that time who looked similar to these folks, but as I said, they were in Minneapolis! 👍🏽

Would enjoy contact with her family to compare Oswald family history, start here, go from there. Thank you.

I take it this is in Minn??

I am from Minnesota was raised on a farm by perch lake a couple miles from Truman. We didn’t have much but hard work and family. People were hard in those day and even harder in the days before. I have a few stories myself that have came from grandmother, uncles and aunts.

I was born in September 1952, in Minneapolis.

I grew up/live here and love history, thank you so much for shining this light on New Ulm

This is a wonderful lady.

I used to hang out at the historic Archie's Bar.

My family had a family of ancestors move to MN. from Germany in 1956. They eventually moved to New Ulm and lived above that meat market. As a young child, I distinctly remember visiting that Rudolph Bartels family on the 2nd floor of that building.

I just found a lovely group photo at an estate sale of the ballroom or dinning hall of some sort at this hotel. It’s from the 50s it says on the back and it a luncheon for the ‘Stanley ladies’, not sure what that means. I read online that it was purchased in 2020 for $1 million and Hilton plans to put $15 million into it to reopen it.

I'll never look at the B&L Bar the same way again 😁

"The popularity started to overwhelm the town. So in 1971, the CHAMBER OF COMMERCE decided to end it." What?? 80,000 attendees spend a LOT of money. Some real forward thinkers there.

Hey there! Are you still putting out videos? I grew up in New Ulm and am enjoying the videos. Thank you.

Thank you!

They just made the decision to tear ol George's down....glad I found this so I could get some insight on the location. my only knowledge is from riding my bike with my son through the alley way and wondering what it would be like to explore that place.

My Grandad as a young man went to live and work on the family dairy farm at New Ulm. I wife does family genealogy and we had several of my family who lived in New Ulm. We visited about ten years ago and fell in love with city. Reminded us very much of our hometown of Quincy IL which has a huge German heritage. Love that root and other beer made there!

I loved New Ulm and I rented a basement area from an older couple named Oswald. They’d be gone by now, but she could have been their daughter-in-law. I lived there in 1977.

Heard about snow drifts in Steele Co. and Waseca Co. year I was born ( Jan. 1953!)

Nineteen twenny tooooooo

Good work on the video, would've liked to have known who the architect or designer was.

Can you please do 116 Harriet St N, Stillwater please!

I wish I could find out about the Ulm’s that lived in Germany. I’m an Ulm my grandpa was an Ulm from Ulm Germany

They were still there in the 1960s. We made a pilgrimage from Hutchinson a couple times a year for sausage. Then we couldn't find the City Meat Market any more. Was that a name change we didn't know? If not, I certainly hope someone bought the recipes and are using them.

What an incredible history of that beautiful church. Thank you.

Wow! Great bit of history. To bad the depot couldn't of been saved.

I wish you would do one on the Paul Gendreau family. Also on LA Falls Motel.

Grandma worked there when she first arrived in USA from Sweden.

i love new ulm its so small and cozy i was born here i have so many good memories

Red Grange dropped a duece & destroyed the toilet in his suite

What a beautiful tribute. I found this video searching for info on my signed Framed photograph of Bishop Whipple. It's rather large measuring 13.25 X 10.5 and Bishop Whipple is seated, wearing a surplice, priestly stole and skull cap. The signature at the bottom reads: Yours Faithfully H. B Whipple Bishop Of Minnesota It's a wonderful piece of History .

yes, back in high school we bought hay from Stadick, less then half mile from 13 but we had to pull the hay rack clear around the section to get in and out

New Ulm looks alot different today (2019).

I really enjoy this special Minnesota history! Please create more informational videos!

Thanks for showing this cool stuff about my hometown 😁

New Ulm new pop- is over 15,000 people not not 13,238 is wrong . We have a lot of new people in town and everything that they build in the city. You all need to change the population. Ive been here more than 20 years now and ive seen New Ulm grow alot from 1997 till now 2018. So you people need to do your math right even me am not a city council and i know a lot of everything.

Man, I found this video after googling Georges bar and ballroom because I'd seen the decrepit building on my first visit to New Ulm a few weeks ago. It's a beautiful building--I hope someone restores it to its former glory!

I wasn't around for the Ballroom's "Hey Day" but it sure was fun in the mid-1970's listening to Bands such as Jesse Brady, Shaw, Allen, Shaw etc. 😀

sad to see what's happend to long prairie& little falls. no jobs no future
