Minnesota log cabin info

In Cold Spring, MN an log cabin belonging to the former Joe Kuebelbeck farm was dismantled, log by log, and moved to Cold Spring’s Pioneer Park, where it was re-assembled exactly as it was.  Finland, Minnesota is a small community of Finnish descent and was carved out of the rugged wilderness in the 1890′s. Some of the original log cabins still stand. Peter Quinn was the first white man to settle as a farmer in Bloomington, MN in 1843, and was appointed by the government to teach Indians how to farm. His log cabin was built on the Minnesota River Bluffs, about where Elliot Avenue, if extended, would intersect the bluffs. His fields were to the north. The point where his cabin stood is called Quinn Point.

The Minnesota state motto is a French phrase “L’Etoile du nord” (The Star of the North)
