U.S. Route 61 or U.S. Highway 61 ( US 61 ) is a major United States highway which extends 1,400 miles ( 2,300 km ) between New Orleans , Louisiana and the city of Wyoming , Minnesota . The highway generally follows the course of the Mississippi River , and is designated the Great River Road for much of its route . As of 2004 , the highway 's northern terminus in Wyoming , Minnesota , is at an intersection with Interstate 35 ( I-35 ) . Until 1991 , the highway extended north on what is now Minnesota State Highway 61 ( MN 61 ) through Duluth and across the Canada-U.S. border , near Grand Portage . Its southern terminus in New Orleans is at an intersection with U.S. Route 90 ( US 90 ) . The highway is often called the Blues Highway because it connects Saint Paul , Minnesota ; St. Louis , Missouri ; Memphis , Tennessee ; the Mississippi Delta , and New Orleans . The route was an important south-north connection in the days before the interstate highway system . Many southerners traveled north along US 61 while going to St. Louis and Saint Paul . The highway has a long musical history , being the supposed location where singer-songwriter Robert Johnson made a deal with the Devil for his successes . The road later gave its name to Minnesota native Bob Dylan 's album Highway 61 Revisited and to the song of the same name , which imagines all sorts of fantastical events ( including World War III ) occurring alongside it . Other notable songs named for the highway include a blues song recorded in 1957 by Sunnyland Slim ; one in 1962 by Johnny Young ; and a 1981 song , 61 Highway , by bluesman James Son Thomas . To denote US 61 's significance in blues music history , there are two markers on the route which are part of the Mississippi Blues Trail : 61 Highway in Vicksburg , Mississippi and Highway 61 Blues in Tunica , Mississippi .
Red Wing ( Formerly Known as Wahcoota [ citation needed ] ) is a city in Goodhue County , Minnesota , United States , along the upper Mississippi River . The population was 16,459 at the 2010 census . It is the county seat of Goodhue County . Red Wing is home to the manufacturers of nationally known products : Red Wing Shoes , Riedell Skates , and Red Wing Stoneware . The Cannon Valley Trail has its eastern terminus in Red Wing . Treasure Island Resort & Casino is operated by the nearby Prairie Island Indian Reservation . The National Trust for Historic Preservation placed Red Wing on its 2008 distinctive destinations list , which adds twelve communities annually nationwide . Red Wing was added for its impressive architecture and enviable natural environment . Red Wing is connected to Wisconsin by Red Wing Bridge ( officially named the Eisenhower Bridge ) ; it carries U.S. Route 63 over the Mississippi River and its backwaters . This city was named after the early 19th-century Dakota Sioux chief , Red Wing ( Shakea ) , or Hupahuduta ( Wing of the Wild Swan Dyed Red ) . He was one of a succession of Mdewakanton Dakota chiefs whose name Red Wing came from their use of a dyed swan 's wing as their symbol of rank . He was an ally of British soldiers during the War of 1812 .
Pine Island is a city in Goodhue and Olmsted counties in the U.S. state of Minnesota . Most of Pine Island is located within Goodhue County , but a small part extends into Olmsted County , making that small portion part of the Rochester metropolitan area . The city 's population was 3,263 at the 2010 census . The community has a strong agricultural base , but has been transitioning over time into a bedroom community for nearby Rochester which employs many local residents . Large development is planned for the Olmsted County side as it becomes a suburb of Rochester , including the Elk Run Bioscience Park , and the state 's first diverging diamond interchange .
Barn Bluff ( known as Ȟemníčhaŋ in the Dakota language ) is a bluff along the Mississippi River in Red Wing , Minnesota , United States . The bluff is considered sacred by the Dakota people because it is the site of many burial mounds . During the 19th century , the bluff functioned as a visual reference for explorers and travelers and later served as a limestone quarry . The bluff overlooks the downtown area and towers about 400 feet ( 120 m ) above the Mississippi River with an extensive view of Lake Pepin to the south . It is one of hundreds of bluffs in the Driftless Area , which covers parts of Wisconsin , Iowa , and Illinois , in addition to the southeastern toe of Minnesota .
U.S. Route 63 ( US 63 ) is a major 1,286-mile ( 2,070 km ) north-south United States highway primarily in the Midwestern and Southern United States . The southern terminus of the route is at Interstate 20 in Ruston , Louisiana . The northern terminus is at U.S. Route 2 in Benoit , Wisconsin , about 60 miles ( 97 km ) east of Duluth , Minnesota .
The Mississippian culture was a mound-building Native American civilization that flourished in what is now the Midwestern , Eastern , and Southeastern United States from approximately 800 to 1600 , varying regionally . It was composed of a series of urban settlements and satellite villages ( suburbs ) linked together by loose trading networks . The largest city was Cahokia , believed to be a major religious center . The Mississippian way of life began to develop in the Mississippi River Valley ( for which it is named ) . Cultures in the tributary Tennessee River Valley may have also begun to develop Mississippian characteristics at this point . Almost all dated Mississippian sites predate 1539-1540 ( when Hernando de Soto explored the area ) , with notable exceptions being Natchez communities that maintained Mississippian cultural practices into the 18th century .
Bridge No . 12 is a Warren pony truss bridge in Hay Creek Township , Minnesota . The bridge is 63 feet ( 19 m ) long and 16 feet ( 4.9 m ) wide and carries Township Road 43 over Bullard Creek . It is built of angle sections riveted together , as recommended in the engineering textbook The Design of Highway Bridges published in 1908 . During this time , the state government was attempting to standardize design and construction of bridges by financial incentives , rather than proposing legislation . The county commissioners of Goodhue County decided in late 1907 to build a bridge over Bullard Creek , but they were dissatisfied with the first round of bids . In the spring of 1908 , Louis P. Wolff proposed a bridge that would comply with Minnesota Highway Commission rules and regulations . By building a bridge that complied with the rules , the state would subsidize the cost of the bridge through road and bridge appropriations . The county commissioners approved of these ideas and paid Wolff $ 100 for the plans and blueprints . William P. Glardon from Red Wing , Minnesota was the contractor , and the Minneapolis Steel & Machinery Company fabricated the steel . The bridge is listed on the Iron and Steel Bridges in Minnesota Multiple Property Submission .
A truss bridge is a bridge whose load-bearing superstructure is composed of a truss , a structure of connected elements usually forming triangular units . The connected elements ( typically straight ) may be stressed from tension , compression , or sometimes both in response to dynamic loads . The basic types of truss bridges shown in this article have simple designs which could be easily analyzed by 19th and early 20th-century engineers . A truss bridge is economical to construct because it uses materials efficiently .
In the United States , Queen Anne-style architecture was popular from roughly 1880 to 1910 . Queen Anne was one of a number of popular architectural styles to emerge during the Victorian era . Within the Victorian era timeline , Queen Anne style followed the Eastlake style and preceded the Richardsonian Romanesque and Shingle styles . The style bears almost no relationship to the Queen Anne style architecture , a toned-down version of English Baroque mostly used for gentry houses , produced in the actual reign of Queen Anne from 1702 to 1714 . It describes a wide range of picturesque buildings with free Renaissance ( non-Gothic Revival ) details rather than of a specific formulaic style in its own right . Queen Anne , as an alternative both to the French-derived Second Empire and the less domestic Beaux-Arts architecture , is broadly applied to architecture , furniture and decorative arts of the period 1880 to 1910 ; some Queen Anne architectural elements , such as the wraparound front porch , continued to be found into the 1920s .
Cannon Falls is a city in Goodhue County , Minnesota , United States . The population was 4,083 at the 2010 census .

Cannon Falls is named for the falls along the Cannon River and serves as the western trailhead for the Cannon Valley Trail . Colonel William J. Colvill , a hero of the Battle of Gettysburg , is buried in the Cannon Falls Cemetery . Two American presidents have visited the city . The first , Calvin Coolidge , visited in 1928 to dedicate the memorial erected in honor of Colvill .

World War II ( often abbreviated to WWII or WW2 ) , also known as the Second World War , was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945 . The vast majority of the world 's countries - including all the great powers - eventually formed two opposing military alliances : the Allies and the Axis . A state of total war emerged , directly involving more than 100 million people from more than 30 countries . The major participants threw their entire economic , industrial , and scientific capabilities behind the war effort , blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources . World War II was the deadliest conflict in human history , marked by 70 to 85 million fatalities , most of whom were civilians in the Soviet Union and China . It included massacres , the genocide of the Holocaust , strategic bombing , premeditated death from starvation and disease , and the only use of nuclear weapons in war . Japan , which aimed to dominate Asia and the Pacific , was at war with China by 1937 , [ b ] though neither side had declared war on the other . World War II is generally said to have begun on 1 September 1939 , with the invasion of Poland by Germany and subsequent declarations of war on Germany by France and the United Kingdom . From late 1939 to early 1941 , in a series of campaigns and treaties , Germany conquered or controlled much of continental Europe , and formed the Axis alliance with Italy and Japan . Under the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of August 1939 , Germany and the Soviet Union partitioned and annexed territories of their European neighbours , Poland , Finland , Romania and the Baltic states . Following the onset of campaigns in North Africa and East Africa , and the Fall of France in mid 1940 , the war continued primarily between the European Axis powers and the British Empire . War in the Balkans , the aerial Battle of Britain , the Blitz , and the long Battle of the Atlantic followed .
The Civilian Pilot Training Program ( CPTP ) was a flight training program ( 1938-1944 ) sponsored by the United States government with the stated purpose of increasing the number of civilian pilots , though having a clear impact on military preparedness .

The Chicago Great Western Depot at 726 East Main Street in Red Wing , in the U.S. State of Minnesota , is a former railroad station listed on the National Register of Historic Places . The depot was built in 1906 after the Chicago Great Western Railway ( CGW ) acquired two small railroads : the Minnesota Central , which connected to Cannon Falls ; and the Duluth , Red Wing , and Southern , which connected to Zumbrota . CGW established a divisional headquarters and built this depot in 1906 , with passenger space on the first floor and office space on the second floor . The red brick structure was the largest depot the railroad built in Minnesota . In 1966 the line from Red Wing south to Pine Island was torn up . In 1982 the line from Cannon Falls east to Red Wing , which had not been used for years , was abandoned . The trackage to the depot was removed . The building was remodeled as a Hardee 's restaurant in 1979 , but by 2006 it became a Caribou Coffee location .
Kenyon is a city in southwestern Goodhue County , Minnesota , United States , located along the North Fork of the Zumbro River . It was founded in 1856 and named in honor of Kenyon College .

Irish Americans ( Irish : Gael-Mheiriceánaigh ) are an ethnic group comprising Americans who have full or partial ancestry from Ireland . About 33 million Americans - 10.1% of the total population - self-identified as being of Irish ancestry in the 2017 American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau . This compares with a population of 6.6 million on the island of Ireland . In contrast to Ireland , surveys since the 1970s have shown consistent majorities or pluralities of Americans who self-identify as being of Irish ancestry as also self-identifying as being Protestant , and are actually mostly Scotch-Irish , the American descendants of Ulster Protestants ( mostly Ulster Scots ) who emigrated from Ireland to the United States . Three million people separately self-identified as Scotch-Irish , but demographers have long assumed the U.S. Census Bureau self-identification estimate of the Scotch-Irish to be a serious undercount ( in part , because along with English and other British ancestries , many Scotch-Irish self-identify as being of American ancestry ) . While some argue that the Scotch-Irish should be considered Irish , considering that conversions by Irish Catholics during the Reformation in Ireland to Protestant churches were historically rare , and that intermarriage between Protestants and Catholics in both Ireland and in the United States was also historically rare [ list 1 ] while interethnic and interdenominational marriage amongst Protestants in Ulster was relatively common , [ list 2 ] multiple historians have argued instead that the Scotch-Irish distinction remains necessary as the Ulster Protestants remain a distinct ethnoreligious group from the Irish Catholics . [ list 3 ]
The Irish diaspora ( Irish : Diaspóra na nGael ) refers to ethnic Irish people and their descendants who live outside the island of Ireland . The phenomenon of migration from Ireland is recorded since the Early Middle Ages , but it is only possible to quantify it from around 1700 : since then between 9 and 10 million people born in Ireland have emigrated . This is more than the population of Ireland at its historical peak of 8.5 million in the 1840s . The poorest of them went to Great Britain , especially Liverpool ; those who could afford it went farther , including almost 5 million to the United States . After 1765 , emigration from Ireland became a short , relentless , and efficiently managed national enterprise . In 1890 , 40% of Irish-born people were living abroad . By the 21st century , an estimated 80 million people worldwide claimed some Irish descent , which includes more than 36 million Americans who claim Irish as their primary ethnicity . As recently as the second half of the nineteenth century , the majority of Irish emigrants spoke Irish as their first language . This had social and cultural consequences for the cultivation of the language abroad , including innovations in journalism . The language continues to be cultivated abroad by a small minority as a literary and social medium . The Irish diaspora are largely assimilated in most countries outside Ireland . Ciarán Cannon is the Republic of Ireland 's Minister of State for the Diaspora .
The Church of the Redeemer is a historic Episcopal church located at 123 Third Street North in Cannon Falls in the U.S. state of Minnesota . The building was built with limestone and wood in 1867 . Episcopal families started meeting in private homes for about eight years before they decided to build a church . The minister traveled from Hastings , by foot or by horseback , for about 18 miles ( 29 km ) . In 1866 , the congregation decided to build a church . Christopher Doner drew up the plans , while Lester Bancroft did the masonry . The stone was Platteville Limestone quarried from a farm north of Cannon Falls . Bishop Henry Benjamin Whipple laid the cornerstone on June 28 , 1866 . When the church was complete , at a cost of about $ 3500 , Bishop Whipple returned on May 1 , 1867 to consecrate the church .

Protestantism is the second-largest form of Christianity with a total of 800 million to 1 billion adherents worldwide or about 37% of all Christians . [ a ] It originated with the 16th century Reformation , [ b ] a movement against what its followers perceived to be errors in the Catholic Church . Protestants reject the Roman Catholic doctrine of papal supremacy and sacraments , but disagree among themselves regarding the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist . They emphasize the priesthood of all believers , justification by faith alone ( sola fide ) rather than also by good works , and the highest authority of the Bible alone ( rather than also with sacred tradition ) in faith and morals ( sola scriptura ) . The five solae summarise basic theological differences in opposition to the Roman Catholic Church . Protestantism began in Germany [ c ] in 1517 when Martin Luther published his Ninety-five Theses as a reaction against abuses in the sale of indulgences by the Roman Catholic Church , which purported to offer the remission of the temporal punishment of sins to their purchasers . However , the term derives from the letter of protestation from German Lutheran princes in 1529 against an edict of the Diet of Speyer condemning the teachings of Martin Luther as heretical . Although there were earlier breaks and attempts to reform the Roman Catholic Church - notably by Peter Waldo , John Wycliffe , and Jan Hus - only Luther succeeded in sparking a wider , lasting , and modern movement . In the 16th century , Lutheranism spread from Germany [ d ] into Denmark , Norway , Sweden , Finland , Latvia , Estonia , and Iceland . Reformed ( or Calvinist ) denominations spread in Germany , [ e ] Hungary , the Netherlands , Scotland , Switzerland and France by reformers such as John Calvin , Huldrych Zwingli , and John Knox . The political separation of the Church of England from the pope under King Henry VIII began Anglicanism , bringing England and Wales into this broad Reformation movement . [ f ] Protestants have developed their own culture , with major contributions in education , the humanities and sciences , the political and social order , the economy and the arts , and many other fields .
Cross of Christ Lutheran Church is a historic church in Welch Township , Minnesota , United States , near the city of Red Wing , Minnesota . It was built in 1878 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 as an example of the characteristic steepled churches built in the Swedish American communities of Southeast Minnesota .
Swedish Americans ( Swedish : Svenskamerikaner ) are Americans of at least partial Swedish ancestry . They primarily include the 1.2 million Swedish immigrants during 1885-1915 and their descendants . They formed tight-knit communities , primarily in the American Midwest , and intermarried with other Swedish-Americans . Most were Lutheran Christians with origins in the state Church of Sweden who were affiliated with predecessor bodies of what are now the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America ( ELCA ) from the mergers of 1988 or the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod ( 1847 ) , or the recent North American Lutheran Church ( NALC ) of 2010 ; some were Methodists following Wesleyan doctrine . Today , Swedish Americans are found throughout the United States , with Minnesota , California and Illinois being the top three states with the highest number of Swedish Americans . Historically , newly arrived Swedish immigrants settled in the Midwest , namely Minnesota , the Dakotas and Wisconsin , just as other Scandinavian Americans . Populations also grew in the Pacific Northwest in the states of Oregon and Washington at the turn of the twentieth century .
Dammon Round Barn is a round barn just southeast of Red Wing , Minnesota , United States , adjacent to U.S. Route 61 . The barn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places . It was built in 1914 , with a foundation of Mississippi River limestone , and is 60 feet ( 18 m ) in diameter and 60 feet ( 18 m ) high . It was built during a time of agricultural growth in Goodhue County , when dairy cow herds were averaging 25 cows per farm and farmers were starting to build specialized barns . The round barn design was built around a silo and provided insulation for the silage , as well as making feeding and cleaning easier . Despite the efficiency , however , round barns were difficult to construct , and they were not widely adopted . Later in its history the barn was used for honey production of the bee keeping owners of the farm . In 2000 the Farm was purchased by Robin and Elaine Kleffman and the Dammon Barn underwent some significant restoration . A straightening of the walls and replacement of the original pillars for the upper floor support and a leveling and new installation of a floor in the top level of the barn makes this one of the most premiere remaining round barns in Minnesota . [ citation needed ] The barn is now part of a bed and breakfast and event center . The 8,000-square-foot ( 740 m2 ) facility is available as a venue for weddings .
A round barn is a historic barn design that could be octagonal , polygonal , or circular in plan . Though round barns were not as popular as some other barn designs , their unique shape makes them noticeable . The years from 1880-1920 represent the height of round barn construction . Round barn construction in the United States can be divided into two overlapping eras . The first , the octagonal era , spanned from 1850-1900 . The second , the true circular era , spanned from 1889-1936 . The overlap meant that round barns of both types , polygonal and circular , were built during the latter part of the nineteenth century . Numerous round barns in the United States are listed on the National Register of Historic Places .
A dairy is a business enterprise established for the harvesting or processing ( or both ) of animal milk - mostly from cows or buffaloes , but also from goats , sheep , horses , or camels - for human consumption . A dairy is typically located on a dedicated dairy farm or in a section of a multi-purpose farm ( mixed farm ) that is concerned with the harvesting of milk . Terminology differs between countries . For example , in the United States , an entire dairy farm is commonly called a dairy . The building or farm area where milk is harvested from the cow is often called a milking parlor or parlor . Except in the case of smaller dairies , where cows are often put on pasture , and usually milked in stanchion barns . The farm area where milk is stored in bulk tanks is known as the farm 's milk house . Milk is then hauled ( usually by truck ) to a dairy plant = also referred to as a dairy - where raw milk is further processed and prepared for commercial sale of dairy products . In New Zealand , farm areas for milk harvesting are also called milking parlours , and are historically known as milking sheds . [ citation needed ] As in the United States , sometimes milking sheds are referred to by their type , such as herring bone shed or pit parlour . Parlour design has evolved from simple barns or sheds to large rotary structures in which the workflow ( throughput of cows ) is very efficiently handled . In some countries , especially those with small numbers of animals being milked , the farm may perform the functions of a dairy plant , processing their own milk into salable dairy products , such as butter , cheese , or yogurt .

One-room schools were commonplace throughout rural portions of various countries , including Prussia , Norway , Sweden , the United States , Canada , Australia , New Zealand , the United Kingdom , Ireland , and Spain . In most rural and small town schools , all of the students met in a single room . There , a single teacher taught academic basics to several grade levels of elementary-age children . While in many areas one-room schools are no longer used , it is not uncommon for them to remain in developing nations and rural or remote areas . Examples include remote parts of the American West , the Falklands , and the Shetland Islands .
