A Reader Writes

Every day history is in the
making. We live along and see
what there is here today but lit
tie do we realize that the things
we see around us today may some
day become historic show places
Of tomorrow. Our early pioneers
developed this community into
what it is with little thought that
some Of the connmonest buildings
and places would be Of great in
terest to future generations.
We have here one of the most
interesting historic localities of
Minnesota and SO few people to
this day are acquainted with the
interesting facts connected with
the part they played in the past.
Markers and monuments have
been placed all around this area
letting the public know of its
past history in connection with
the life and hardships of our early
settlers but how many of us can
say yes l have seen these places
and know what they represent
You have, perhaps, heard of the
history of Fort Ridgely, the battle
of Birch Coulee and Wood Lake,
the wholesale murder of whites
at New Ulm and along the Min
| nesota river but have you been
interested enough to visit these
spots with friends and particul-
arly with your children?
Some people had more fore
sight and have preserved some
interesting articles and material
for the future generations and
among these is Mr.. Massapust
who lives about 10 miles west of
New Ulm along the north bank
of the Minnesota river.
At the location of his present
home hidden from the roadside
h;y trees stands an old building
| which was used in the early days
as a store to supply the wants
and needs of the settlers of that
area. This store has not been in
operation since shortly after the
Civil war and today still has on
40 ollSiNCo
stock at the time the key was
turned that closed the place as a
community store.
The shelving, coffee, cracker
! and sugar bins, scales, scoops,
counters, office corner with its
papers crammed in the pigeon
holes, nails, OK yoke pins, spools
of thread, hardware, buttons and
trousers buckles are still in the
drawers, shells and boxes where
they were placed for sale. On the
walls one sees framed advertise
ments of those days and red,
white and blue bunting which
has hung there since 1868.
MIR. Massapust has innumerable
antiques other than the merchan-
disc carried in the store and has
transformed the building into a
museum where he is willing to
show all interested at any time.
