On This Date in Minnesota History: September 8

September 8, 1906 – Dan Patch, the world’s greatest pacing stallion, went a mile in 1:55 at the Minnesota State Fair grounds on this date. The record has never been equaled.

The Weekly Valley Herald; “Famous Savage Barn Destroyed by Fire”; Chaska, Minn.; Aug. 31, 1922; p. 4.

If you are interested in finding out more about your family history in Minnesota, I specialize in researching  genealogical and historical records in Minn. and western Wis., including:
census records,  birth records,  death certificates, obits, grave site photos, ship passenger lists, marriage records and declarations of intent/naturalization records.  I will visit locations to research local history and county records, as well as take photos. Quick turnaround on MHS records.  Both short searches and family history reports.
