Archaeologists are uncovering history in a Minnesota ghost town
HAWLEY, Minn. — Winnipeg Junction was once a affluent city in Minnesota.
It’s now a ghost city.
Highschool and school college students from close to and much are looking for out the story of the city throughout an archaeological dig.
Winnipeg Junction was a thriving group simply east of Hawley from 1900 to 1910. At one level, it was residence to over 200 residents. The story of the city’s rise and eventual downfall was related to a railroad controversy. It was a battle between railroads over land and a connection to Canada.
Amanda Butler, professor of anthropology at Minnesota State College-Moorhead, says they only determined to make their very own connection to Canada, therefore the title Winnipeg Junction. What they didn’t notice was the soil within the space was too moist to carry a rail line, forcing the railroad to whither away and the group with it.
Buddy Norman has been the landowner for the final 35 years. He has discovered historical past throughout his garden.
“I feel an important factor I’ve discovered is a 1903 Roosevelt commemorative coin that’s in simply actually good condition, as a result of Teddy got here via right here on the practice. He stopped in Dale really. So, I’m positive they have been campaigning,” he stated.
This month, college students at MSUM, together with highschool college students, are trying to find the finer particulars to find the consuming patterns in Clay County.
“Something that may inform us something. Like a hunk of glass is cool but when it doesn’t have phrases or any distinct patterns, you’ll be able to’t actually inform a lot from that. So discovering stuff with designs or distinct rims are useful to search out,” stated Eva Meerdink, an eighth-grade archaeologist from Illinois.
Butler says they hope they’ll reply some questions like, are there some consumption patterns which might be the identical, and in the event that they have been getting alcohol in the identical place.
The crew might be on the market for the following 21 days, hopefully answering the questions and uncovering the fascinating historical past of Winnipeg Junction.

If Arizona hosts Los Angeles Rams vs Minnesota Vikings due to fires, it wouldn’t be a first
NFL Wild Card playoff picks: Consider Eagles, Commanders and Vikings
Lorenzo Reyes is back with his three best bets ahead of Sunday and Monday’s games during Wild Card Weekend.
There could still be one more football game played in Arizona this season. On Wednesday, the NFL announced that it has a contingency plan to potentially move Monday night’s wild-card game between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams to State Farm Stadium due to ongoing wildfires raging across Southern California.
For now, the league is preparing for the game to take place at SoFi Stadium, the Rams’ home in Inglewood. But if a change of location is deemed necessary, the Cardinals’ stadium in Glendale would play host, giving Arizona its first playoff game — excluding Super Bowls — since the 2015 divisional round.
It would, however, not be the first time that NFL teams have had to move to Arizona. Here are the other times that similar moves have occurred:
2020: San Francisco 49ers
Due to the spread of COVID-19 in the fall of 2020, Santa Clara County briefly banned all contact sports. That forced the San Francisco 49ers to play three home games at State Farm Stadium. The team used fields near the stadium as its practice facility and stayed at the Renaissance Phoenix Glendale Hotel and Spa across the street.
2007: San Diego Chargers
It would not be unprecedented if the Rams had to make Arizona home due to fires. The then-San Diego Chargers practiced at the Cardinals’ Tempe facility for three days in 2007 due to the Witch Creek Fire, which forced 40 members of the organization to evacuate their homes. The team returned to San Diego for their game that Sunday, defeating the Houston Texans.
2003: San Diego Chargers
Four years earlier, the Chargers had a Monday Night Football game against the Dolphins moved to Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe. Again, the move was due to fires in Southern California, which caused poor air quality. The Chargers’ home field, Qualcomm Stadium, was also used as an evacuation center during the fires. Both teams flew to Arizona on game day for a game Miami won, 26-10. The NFL distributed 73,104 free tickets to the game.

The win is the Frost’s third in as many games this season against the Fleet, and the second in seven days by an overtime finish. Hannah Bilka scored early on for the Fleet, making this the first time Boston has opened the scoring against Minnesota this season.
Later in the first period, Denisa Křížová scored her first goal of the campaign, tying the game at one and ending the game’s regulation scoring. Heise’s winner came at 3:20 of the extra frame on Minnesota’s first shot of overtime on Emma Söderberg, who stopped 24 shots throughout regulation. Maddie Rooney picked up her fourth win of the season with a 26-save performance.
