The entire village of
Old Frontenac is snugly nestled on the National
Register for Historic Places--a tribute to the
frontier paradise cultivated under the patronage of
the Garrard family. With the exception of the modern
county road that serves the local residents, all the
streets are still unpaved gravel. No streetlights or
visible utilities mar the overall impression of an
untouched early settlement. No commercial businesses
are in the village. As we enter the twenty-first
century, the nineteenth-century buildings of Old
Frontenac remain virtually untouched by the
heavy-handed development that has so recently
decimated other historical areas. It is hoped that
this little time capsule of Minnesota's
architectural history, occupied by
preservation-minded owners, will survive. Buy this book |

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. | |
