We spent the day with the Hirschey's in and around Glenwood, Minn on Lake Mishawaka. The town has about 3,000 folks with a small but efficient 'downtown'.
On an early walk toward town, we came to the Pope County Museum and wandered in. What a treat! It is a small museum that is very tastefully and professionally done with different rooms presenting views of local present and past history. Early indian settlement recreations, a 1920's medical office, a dentist office (I can remember the chairs and the tools), weaponry, old telephone equipment and much more. Very interesting.

| Lee's favorite--a very old 'cord board' with coded ringing for 8 party lines. OLD and RARE! |
We walked and drove around the area to visit the town park, the ski lift (installed by Dareld and another 'old fart', and local area homes. Glenwood is a wonderful location to live.
We had dinner at the Lakeside ballroom at the edge of Lake Mishawaka. Good food in a location that played host to many Big Band and smaller band orchestra's and singers.
