• "Ferry Tales at the Landing," which was a huge success Read about the event
An informational meeting was held in May of 2012, at the Clearwater Legion in Clearwater, Minnesota, with 10 residents present. Some residents are fairly new to the community, while others have lived here their whole life.
The purpose of the meeting was to find out if there is enough interest to formalize a group to preserve the history of the Clearwater Community. This organization would/could include historical information from the City of Clearwater, as well as from Lynden Township, Clearwater Township and Clear Lake Township.
Whether you have lived in this community your whole life or a fairly recent transplant, we invite you to join us as we learn more about this interesting area and the many hidden historical treasurers that it holds.
