JAMES J. HILL HOUSE OUTING
DECEMBER 12, 2017
(This above photo from Hill website; other photos by FredWulff)

The rugged stone, massive scale, fine detail, and ingenious mechanical systems of this magnificent Gilded Age mansion recall the powerful presence of James J. Hill, builder of the Great Northern Railway.

With 13 bathrooms, 22 fireplaces, 16 chandeliers, a reception hall nearly 100 feet long, sophisticated technical systems, and a two-story, skylit art gallery, it was once the largest private residence in the state.

The home served as the center for the public and private lives of the Hill family for 30 years. It was named a National Historic Landmark in 1961.

AFTER LUNCH WE CROSSED OVER THE RIVER


“I look at the bridge as a regional asset,” said Bill Rubin of the St. Croix Economic Development Corp. “In the heartland, in the valley, we’ve got something everybody should be proud of. It accomplished a lot of what folks desired — safety, visual quality, easing the congestion.”
Dignitaries gathered Aug. 2 to celebrate the opening of the four-lane bridge, 1½ miles south of downtown Stillwater. To many of them, the bridge with its enormous piers and cables represents an engineering feat ranking with famous bridges such as the Golden Gate in San Francisco.

MAINSTREET TOUR
TO FORT SNELLING 9/21/17

Fort Snelling, originally known as Fort Saint Anthony, was a military fortification located at the confluence of Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Long before the area became a military fort, Dakota tribes lived here in a place they call Bdote, which means “where the two waters come together.”

Our living history guide, dressed in the early 1800s uniform, conducted most of the Fort Snelling tour from our bus. The soldiers at the northwestern frontier outposts tried to restrict commercial use of the rivers to United States citizens, keep American Indian lands free of white settlement until treaties permitted it, enforce law and order, and protect legitimate travelers and traders at Fort Snelling, the garrison also attempted to keep the peace between the Dakota people.



The Round Tower is the oldest structure at Fort Snelling.

At this point a red cross nurse dressed in period costume boarded the bus to explain her position. Just outside the bus was the hospital ward, operating room and dispensary. Dr. John Emerson purchased the slave Dred Scott in Saint Louis, Missouri, but he later worked and lived at Fort Snelling during much of the 1830s, having brought Dred and his wife Harriet Scott with him. The Missouri Compromise made slavery illegal in Minnesota Territory. Emerson took the Scotts back to Missouri, a slave state, where they sued for their freedom and that of their daughters, because they had been held illegally in a free territory. A longstanding precedent of "once free, always free" was overturned in this case, and the United States Supreme court case of Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857) ruled that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional and that African Americans had no standing under the constitution.




All but abandoned for decades, five military buildings on what is known as Fort Snelling’s Upper Post are being rehabbed to 58 affordable apartments for homeless veterans and their families. The estimated cost is $15 million. The buildings on the Upper Post have suffered from deferred maintenance and vandalism over the years and are rapidly deteriorating following the Fort’s decommissioning after World War II.


The gravesite of a horse called "Whiskey"(below). Lieutenant Hazelrigg discovered that Whiskey had a variety of talents. Excelling at polo, he showed an “instinct for the game” that soon had sportswriters claiming that he “qualified as one of the best polo players on the field.” Whiskey quickly mastered tricks such as lifting the lieu- tenant’s cap from his head by its visor and replacing it, removing a handkerchief from a pocket, searching for a hidden treat, sitting on his haunches, lying down and play- ing dead, and bowing. According to Dana F. Christian, a warrant officer and, later, historian and president of the Third Infantry Regiment Association, “Any tricks a horse is capable of doing, it seems Whiskey could do. Hazelrigg would throw a bunch of handkerchiefs on the ground, and Whiskey could pick out a special colored one.” Whiskey’s greatest talent was jumping. Combining spectacular jumps with a repertoire of tricks, the horse and his rider did double duty at fort polo games, also supplying the half-time entertainment. No obstacle deterred the fearless, high-flying horse, be it a team of mules hitched to a supply wagon; the white mule, Snelling, standing between two fences; a group of diners seated at a table; a human hurdle; or a blazing jump. When the crowds in the stands clapped and shouted their approval, the Minneapolis Star reported, “it seemed Whiskey knew they were cheering at him.”
