History:  

GLENVILLE, a city in sections 5 to 8, Shell Rock Township, was named by officers of the railway company. It was incorporated in 1898. Previous to the building of the railway there in 1877, this had been the site of a smaller village, platted in 1856 when Bartlett, Ellswart and Phillips formed a townsite corporation, bearing the name Shell Rock for the river on which it is situated, thence given also to the township. The post office was first named Shell Rock, 1856-79, when changed to the present name. The village had a station of the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad.

My name is Megan Flatness (Avery). I have always had a love of photography-taking pictures on vacations, at family gatherings, etc. When my daughter was born, I took my love of photography to another level. I had so many ideas running through my mind....I started planning a weekly photo session. Before I knew it----I had photo props, backdrops, lighting equipment, etc....and then came the phone calls from family and friends. Since then, I haven't put down my camera and have taken thousands of photos!
