We usually visit for one week every summer.Ī couple years ago, mum had picked up a local publication that listed historic sights all over Minnesota, and found one we could visit on our way home: in Aitkin Minnesota, there was an old general store called Butlers that had been around since the 1900s. My mum's dad's side of the family owns a house by a lake just outside of Garrison, MN (close to Lake Milacs), and they're kind enough to let the family use it. Almost all the helpful-looking links 404'd on me- seriously, try Googling it. ![]() As an added pain in the ass, it's nearly impossible to find any useful or in-depth information about it. I couldn't find any interior photographs from before the remodel and after the 1900s, so I need to go purely from memory. ![]() I don't know if the main general store is still there (I can't afford the long-distance call to find out). After a great deal of searching online, we found it, but it turns out that in 2012 they started a huge remodel and added a whole bunch of new stores. I had no idea what the store was called, and only knew where it was because mum remembered. ![]() ![]() For this post, I did a lot of (mostly fruitless) research.
