Slice of History: Hanover Historical Bridge

What is your favorite historical spot in the community?

Constructed in 1885, the Hanover Historical Bridge is the third oldest in Minnesota, according to the Hanover Historical Society website. The bridge spans over the Crow River between Wright and Hennepin counties.  "Once the bridge linked the Hennepin and Wright County sides, quicker travel was possible," according to the Hanover Historical Society website. "In 1909 a new stagecoach line from Rockford to Osseo via Burschville was created utilizing the bridge route." The Hanover Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, according to the Minnesota Historical Society.  Editor's note: What is your favorite "slice of history" in the area in and around St. Michael/Albertville?

The specialty liquor store with it's own brew supply store has been open since May in Hanover.

With beer brewing only becoming more popular it was about time a liquor store decided to take matters into their own hands.

Who said anything about the sexual preference of this person? If by that you are referring to his interest in school aged children, then NO, we do not approve. Embellishment comes in many forms, like adding to a report what wasn't there to begin with.   more ›
