Searching for info (pictrues and architecural drawings) for the Minnesota Power Company’s dam and power station, the milling facilities (Northwestern and Gopher State – were they still there in 1948 and if not, when were they abandoned)), the Hennepin Paper Company, and, the NP Depot in Little Falls, Minnesota, in 1948 (actuallly, anything from 1945 to 1950) for modeling on my model raiulroad layout.
John – We have photos in our collections for all of those sites, however I’m not sure if we have them around your required dates. Because of the complexity of your request and the time it will take to fill it, we need to have you place a formal research request via email (contactstaff@morrisoncountyhistory.org) or phone (320-632-4007).
Please see our Fees & Policies page for our staff research fees:
http://morrisoncountyhistory.org/?page_id=1193
If you can visit the museum, the only fee for research is for any copies you request.
We look forward to hearing from you.

I am looking for information and pictures of a motel that my 3rd great grandfather owned on and around the year of 1870. His name was Peter Roy wife Philomine.
Good morning, Lynn!
I took a look in our archives and unfortunately we don’t have anything in regards to the motel that Peter Roy owned. We have several other records, including biographies and obituaries, so if you’re interested in that we would be more than glad to send you copies.
Just let us know how you’d like to proceed and we’ll go from there!

Is there any information on a business located on the West Side of town next to the Royal Cafe that I believe was called Johnson Implement (sold Allis Chambers tractors, etc.)? Can’t seem to find any information on that business. Owned by Russell Johnson.
Hello,
My grandfather, James Gross, grew up in Lastrup and his family owned what I believe was called the Gross Brothers Grocery. I see James, Peter J. listed on your Morrison county grocery store list. It was open from 1912-1959(?). I was wondering since it’s on this list, if any more information was available on it.
Best,
Hannah Evans
