On This Date in Minnesota History: June 21

June 21, 1906 – Earthquake shocks were distinctly felt at the Goodhue County almshouse, three miles from Red Wing, shortly after 10 this evening.

Beds rocked and articles fell from shelves.

The inmates were thoroughly frightened, particularly those on the third floor.

The shocks were also felt out around the premises.
