Highway 61

Just arrived at the library is Tales of the Road: Highway 61 by Minnesota Public Radio's Cathy Wurzer. In this book, companion to the television documentary, Cathy Wurzer "unearths stories about places [along Highway 61] and more as she travels down the road and into the past, spotlighting famous and fascinating locations, many of them little remembered today. Learn about bootleggers crossing the St. Croix by ferry or importing hooch from Canada onboard vessels designed in White Bear Lake." It even includes a tale about Red Wing - but you'll have to check out the book to learn what it is!
