Good morning and happy ! Did you know Warroad was a tourist destination over a century ago? People used to visit to hunt waterfowl and game birds in the early 20th century. This is a photo of John Lawson, the elder* YOUNGER brother of Tom Lawson. John did not live in Warroad though he would visit from Wisconsin occasionally. After Tom Lawson and Tom Jones ended their partnership, John put up majority share to start the Warroad Mercantile. We are not certain exactly when this photo was taken, but we think it is around the mid 1900s-1910s.

With information from the comments it may be John T. Lawson, the first born son of Tom Lawson.

It was 80' long and 14' wide with 75 hp engines and a top speed of 12-15mph. It was licensed to carry 50 passengers. The maiden trip was October 16th, 1904 carrying 40 passengers from the Twin Cities, Winnipeg, Roseau, and International Falls, to Oak Island. The boat was named in honor of Minnesota Senator, Knute Nelson.

Good morning and happy ! Who remembers the giant hockey stick built for the Hall of Fame in Eveleth? In 1995, Christian Bros. built an exact replica of the Christian 1000 model, but it was 107 feet long and weighed over 3 tons. It was hauled to Eveleth and dedicated on September 16th, 1995. It was removed in the summer of 2001 due to structural issues. It was parted up and given away for donations to fund the replacement stick.
