Faribault Woolen Mill: Loomed in the Land of Lakes Faribault Woolen Mill: Loomed in the Land of Lakes
Established in 1865 by Carl Klemer, the Faribault Woolen Mill is an authentic example of American craftsmanship. In 150 years of business, the company's success has relied on stewardship from the Klemer, Johnson and Mooty families, as well as veteran employees. Despite a devastating fire and even a closing, today it is the oldest manufacturer in Minnesota and one of the country's last mills producing textiles from raw wool. Its blankets provided warmth to hundreds of thousands of American troops in both world wars, and the mill continues that tradition of military support today. Discover the history and heritage woven into this iconic American brand revered around the world.

Steam Railroads of Northern Iowa and Southern Minnesota Steam Railroads of
Northern Iowa and Southern Minnesota
Steam railroading became an integral part of the communities in northern Iowa and southern Minnesota in the late 1800s. The railroad provided hundreds of jobs and the ability to transport both goods and passengers across the Midwest. The Chicago & North Western Railway, the Chicago Great Western Railroad, the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway, the Chicago, Rock Island, & Pacific Railroad, and the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad (called the Milwaukee Road by employees) served five principal gateways, which included Chicago, Illinois; Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota; Omaha, Nebraska; and Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri. Operating steam engines required tremendous manpower, and by the 1920s, some steam passenger trains were replaced by more efficient motor cars, fueled by oil-powered engines. Steam engines could no longer compete with the reduced operating costs, smaller crew requirements, and time savings provided by diesel, which ultimately led to the fall of steam in 1955.
