Postcards from Minnesota

This is a postcard, I believe from the 1950’s or thereabouts.

This channel connects the upper and lower lakes of Minnetonka. Lake Minnetonka located about 15 miles west of Minneapolis has over 300 miles of shore-line. It is noted for its scenic beauty, fishing, sailing and a summer playground. A large amusement part is on the water’s edge at Excelsior, Minnesota.

Apparently the amusement park was there from1925 to 1973.

A familiar winter sight in the northland are dog teams powering sleds across sparkling fields of snow. Once a necessary means of winter transportation, dog sledding has evolved into an exciting winter sport with races for both amateurs and professionals.
