| In 1900 Barnum was known as a "Hello Town"; today
the town continues to welcome new residents and visitors with the
same enthusiasm as those early settlers did at the turn of the century.
Barnum, located on Interstate 35, 115 miles north of Minneapolis/St.
Paul and 35 miles south of Duluth, was at the time of its incorporation,
and still is today, deeply rooted in an agriculture/environmental
economy. |
