Manannah, Meeker County

1/12/2017

Came across this wonderful real photo postcard. Manannah is in Meeker County, MN and was one of the county's earliest settlements. It had a post office from 1857 - 1907.

The community was at the heart of the Dakota Conflict, and nearby four area men were killed in an incident that became known as the Manannah Massacre. A historical marker is at the incident site today.

In its heyday, Manannah had three general stores, a flour and feedmill, a hotel, a cabinet shop, a creamery, a barber and more.
