In 1906, Minnehaha Falls was one of the best-known sights in Minneapolis, a park on Minnehaha Creek where the stream drops about 53 feet into the gorge before reaching the Mississippi. The falls had gained national fame through Longfellow's 1855 poem *The Song of Hiawatha*, and visitors came by streetcar from the city's growing neighborhoods to walk the paths and see the water. Minneapolis itself was then a major flour-milling center powered by the river, and its mills and railroads drew workers and new residents from across the Midwest and Scandinavia. Through the Minneapolis Park Board, the city had been setting aside land like this for picnics, boating, and Sunday outings, a civic habit that reflected a city proud of its growth.
