Abandoned Places

Old Wadena Historic District

Staples, MN

Old Wadena, at the Crow Wing and Partridge river confluence in Minnesota, layers centuries of history: Ojibwe homelands, a fur-trade post of about 1800, and an 1870s townsite abandoned when the railroad chose a line to the south. Its quiet river woods now carry gentle telling of voices, footsteps and dusk lights along the old paths.
