Thank you for talking about the iron range most Minnesotas know nothing of it cause they no longer teach it in school

There's still more of Wisconsin than Milwaukee, Madison. Missed out of Northern Wisconsin.

No city on the planet can touch it's architecture because it's the reincarnation of Gaza Egypt indigenous look running forever giving birth to all cities.

1:44 You can see the satellite dishes from the TV Station I work at 😂❤ Thanks for making this!

2:21 Is that Wequiock?😭❤

For some reason I never knew camp Randall was named after a governor 🤷

Well done! Minnesota is a very special place.

Great video. I love seeing history about my state. I noticed that Stillwater was not really mentioned and was a big part of Minnesota's history, being one of the biggest cities at the time and pre dating Minneapolis. It was founded in 1843 and was a big part of income and trade for Minnesota. It also made Minnesota the biggest logging market in the world for a short time. The logging stop in the early 1900's because they had depleted the timber supply among some other issues. It was also home to the Minnesota Territorial prison, later known as Minnesota State Prison. It was in use from 1853-1914, and most of it was torn down in 1936, leaving the Wardens home, manual labor complex, and a factory building. The factory building was burned down by Arson in 2002, living accommodations were built where the main cortyard was, and the only remaining structure now is the Wardens home.

I grew up in Pepin, Wisconsin, right across the Mississippi from Minnesota. And I learned how Pepin was an integral part in the early fur trade as well as the exploration by Zebulun Pike in the early 1800s. So even though Pepin is in Wisconsin, I feel like it played apart in the history of Minnesota as well.

love this!

Look up the story of Alexander Faribault and Bishop Henry Whipple. They saved many dakota people from execution after the war by writing to President Abraham Lincoln and requesting pardons for many of the dakota warriors who he had fought in the battle of birch coulee

I've lived in MN all, but 3 yrs. I've seen 2 3rds of the state. I've never ventured to southern MN.

I don't know how, but HOW IS THERE 256k VIEWS ON THIS! THATS CRAZY! Anyways keep up the good work! 🎉

Creepy as f honestly if youre there at night. It was my bike route past it at night from work spookey, big time. No lighting, no one could hear you if you shouted for help, if you come across some freak, be ready, its serious. Just woods surrounding it and a highway. No houses or anything. Surreal. Natives and soldiers were hung there, among others.

great video, the only criticism is the lack of explanation for why Scandinavian Americans emigrated to the extent they did when they did. Shortly after the end of the Civil War, one of the last major natural famines in Europe took place in Sweden, which at the time was in a union with Norway, which was what started the mass chain migration of Scandinavians into the Upper Midwest. Although there was some relatively minor emigration from Scandinavia to the US in the past, most most of it was to east coast, and the overwhelming majority of Scandinavian-American families in the Midwest, my own included arrived directly or indirectly as a result of the famine. Also although remarkably we have found some legitimate artifacts from the old world arriving either from shipwrecks or trade from the Polynesians and native groups around the Bering Strait, the Kensington Runestone is 100% a forgery lol

OMG would you please🙏🙏🙏 do this same thing for Iowa!!!! This is awesome!

They were conquered by the Somalis

I go to this little village all the time it's Murphys Landing. Sometimes you get cold wind blowing on you when you're near or in those houses. In the middle of the summer. Its definitely haunted

Is there any way we can get our state of Minnesota flag back?

Free thinking 😂

My great grandfather's visage is the Iron Man. Daniel Tolonen.

Ope, just gonna go ahead and squeeze past ya

It shocks me when I found out that the twin cities can be colder than Anchorage Alaska, when I first moved to MN from Florida.

my great great grandmother taught at the same school at the same time that the kids from little house on the prairie were in school.

Wow, I didn’t even know about Father Louis Hennepin but have lived in Hennepin County my whole life!

Minnesota is my home-born and raised. This was a beautiful historic overview of our beautiful State❤

Nice piece but the iron range, hockey, international falls?...so much more

Of course they ate beaver , men love beavers

Lol wow

Born and raised in Mn., where everyone is MINNESOTA NICE!!

Well balanced... Well done

Massive dumpster

Wisconsin was first:)

I hope to see more of your videos. I'm aware how difficult videos can be.

My family has been here for quite a while. We have our own street name “Robbins St” and Cromwell Ave. I’m also a band member of The Mille Lacs Band Of Ojibwe and great Grandson of the founder and main contributor of our Indian Health board want to say miigwech for the history you gave us

Great video, but perhaps should be renamed "MN History 1600s - 1900" as you left out all of the 20th and 21st century.

Tampon Tim No Ballz Wallz has destroyed Minnesota.

Love this!

Excellent video! So many stories I've never heard, despite living in MN my entire live. You're pronunciation of Mankato at 13:10 needs work though 😂😂

It's the Canadian Deep South.

We from Minnesota don't you know. Yeah, sure, yabetcha 😂

The Mayo house you showed is in the city of Le Sueur not New Ulm as said

A lot of good history. Lots left out too. No mention to how the Dakota were treated, starved, and told to eat grass. They were fed spoiled food young children elders dying of hunger. But history told the way to make it seem it was all Dakota thing when in reality they were very friendly with the "settlers" for many years and were in the time of the attacks and after. The march of Dakota people to fort Snelling "BDOTE." I think mention that the STATE OF MN put Bounty on Dakota Scalps. Paid to kill and scalp the Dakota people. Other tribes were mistaken at times for being Dakota. What are the numbers of scalps that were taken and paid from state of MN? No mention of the Sandy Lake were hundreds of Ojibwe were starved, sent to get rations that were not there.. Could have thrown in Harriet Tubman. Doctor Mayo cut up Dakota people for studies, and remains were taken. Graves dug up. Lack of respect for the ones making their journey. Twin Cities built on burial mounds much like the whole United States. Not much mention of that either.

In fact, one of the most famous slaves that ever lived - Dred Scott - was owned by the Army doctor at Fort Snelling, Dr. John Emerson.

Even though slavery was illegal in the Minnesota territory, most of the officers at Fort Snelling had slaves at the fort. Many of the fur traders, including Henry Sibley, also owned slaves. In fact, one of the most famous slaves that ever lived - Dred Scott - was owned by the Army doctor at Fort Snelling . Please don’t leave out ALL the history. You have to know all sides of history or you’re apart of the PROPAGANDA . Please we all can educate ourselves more on all sides of history and not try to hide facts

Unfortunately, University of Wisconsin-Madison Alumni think they control everything of value in this state. They are arrogant and rude. If you're not "one of them" you're worthless. Wisconsin Alumni are the worst I have ever encountered in America, and I have been in several states. If it weren't for these alumni, Wisconsin might actually be a nice place to live.

There's a map of the 12th century with the city of Chicago. This map was from older source maps.

Born and raised in La Crosse. The ONLY downside of Wisconsin is you have Illinois to the south.

Check out the song "Minnesota" by Northern Lights. For all those that have strayed away from Minnesota it will bring a tear to your eye. For all those that are too young to remember the song, it was big in the 70's. A lot of radio stations played as their sign off song as they went off the air for the night. Hope you all enjoy it.
