Historic Downtown Crookston Revisited
A year ago my parents and I traveled to Crookston, the northwestern Minnesota town where my musical great-grandparents, G. Oliver and Islea Riggs, settled at the turn of the last century.
Our trip had many great moments, including – not necessarily in this order – sampling the chocolate covered potato chips at Widman’s, finding photos of G. Oliver’s bands at the historical society, and marveling at the downtown architecture.
