Sun rising on the historic courthouse
The Todd County Historical Society were honored guests at the grand RE-opening of the courthouse for their efforts in saving this classic building. The cost of remodeling the old building was comparable in price to tearing it down and building a new facility. However, the aesthetic appeal of original building could not be duplicated by today’s ultra-pragmatic architecture.
Flag Raising over the historic courthouse
After rousing speeches by the Todd County commissioners and the societies own Jon Kroll, the veterans played a solemn song on the bugle while the flag was raised for the first time in many years.
And the Band Played On....
The local band belted out a tune in the blazing sun which was specially prepared for this event.
Cutting the ribbon...
While it is certain that many of the spectators had hoped for one gigantic pair of scissors for the “ribbon cutting”, instead the 5 commissioners each got a scissors and cut the ribbon in multiple places.
Interior of the Courthouse
After the ribbon-cutting, the crowd rushed inside to view the remodeled and air conditioned interior. The Courthouse was open for business despite the open house and touring people. A board meeting was held just prior to the ceremony and all regularly scheduled positions were operating.

Ox Cart Replica
A Red River ox cart replica was made by Gary Stracek. It is of the original size and design that was used by the teamsters that traveled from Pembina to St. Paul in the early years of the Minnesota Territory. It will be on display at the Todd County Fair at the Todd County Historical Society Building from July 26-29, 2012. A narrative will be given by Eldon Morey at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, July 27, 2012 at the Historical Society Building. He will explain the trails and history of the ox carts.
