hirty years before Westbrook was settled, pioneers established a nearby village known as Blue Eagle. When the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railroad came to plot out a townsite, it got into a dispute with a landowner. As a result, a new town was platted. Westbrook’s 1900 depot reflects and preserves the history of the community. Seven years after the line was abandoned in 1976, local editor and railroad buff Tom Merchant spearheaded a volunteer project that restored the depot to its present condition. It has been named Westbrook Heritage House Museum.

Relay for Life Friday, July 28
T
he 19th annual Cottonwood County Relay For Life returns to the scenic and peaceful location of Tegels Park along the shores of Cottonwood Lake in northeast Windom in 2017. In what has become a staple among summer events in Cottonwood County, the annual American Cancer Society fundraiser is an opportunity to honor those who are winning their battles against cancer while remembering those who have lost their fight. For the eighth straight year, the Relay For Life committee will hold a five-hour event, a format that has been wellreceived by teams and guests, increasing participation and donations of time and funds. The Opening Ceremony is set for about 7 p.m., with the Closing Ceremony wrapping up the event at midnight. Cottonwood County Relay For Life typically follows a similar format from year to year with changes only to schedule and activities. The committee and teams devote much of the morning and early afternoon to setting up for the evening event with Survivor registration getting the event rolling about 4 p.m.

A meal is always included in the early evening activities with the Opening Ceremony officially getting the Relay out of the blocks. The Opening Ceremony also includes recognition of honorary chairpersons, a white bird release and a Survivor’s Celebration lap followed by team laps over the next five hours. The highlight of the evening is lighting of the luminaria lined pathway which always is one of the event’s solemn and touching moments. The event concludes with the Closing Ceremony at midnight. Last year, the county Relay enjoyed another strong survivor attendance of 81 registered cancer survivors, including 11 first-timers, and $60,334 net funds raised.

Cottonwood County Courthouse
O
ne of the region’s most photographed buildings is the Historic Cottonwood County Courthouse. The Courthouse, which is included in the National Historic Register, turns 112 this year. Construction started in 1904 by J.B. Nelson of North Mankato at a bid of $59,949. It was occupied in 1905. Among its features are the unusual Corinthian style marble columns. After it was completed, additional funds were spent on architectural details around windows, interior decorations and a 12-foot, bronze/copper-plated statue of the Greek goddess of justice, which stands proudly atop the Courthouse dome. Inside are four murals in the rotunda that were restored in 1975-1976 representing government, justice, freedom of the press and freedom of religion. The corner emblems of the dome are called history, government, art and science. Since 1986 several remodeling projects were undertaken, including an upgrade of the commissioners’ room in 2007.
Located on the Square, Windom.
Hours: Weekdays 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Closed Saturday and Sunday.

Cottonwood County Public Lands
T
he U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) manage nearly 30 tracts totaling more than 11,000 acres of wildlife habitat in Cottonwood County. The FWS tracts are known as Waterfowl Production Areas, DNR tracts are known as Wildlife Management Areas and one DNR tract is known as a Scientific and Natural Area. The DNR tracts managed by the Wildlife Divisions are prairie grassland and wetland habitats ranging in size from 17 to over 400 acres. The exceptions are the Talcot Lake WMA, which is over 4,000 acres, and the Expandere WMA which is 850 acres, both located west of Windom. These areas are open to public use with certain restrictions, except portions of the Talcot Lake WMA which are closed to public use.
Lake are paved and handicapped-accessible. The Wings on the Prairie Discovery Center is a designated Prairie Passage site. Education is another key facet of FWS. The Wings on the Prairie Discovery Center on the Wolf Lake WPA provides students, as well as adults, a great location to learn about the environment. There is a small book sales area. The Wolf Lake WPA is comprised of restored wetlands, a shallow prairie lake, native prairie and oak savanna. Each of the ecosystems supports a different variety of wildlife and plant species and students receive hands-on experience while visiting the center. The DNR building (below) is located nearby on County Road 26. For more information, or to obtain a map to locate WMAs and WPAs call the numbers listed below.
There is also one newer DNR tract managed by the Ecological Services Division called the Rock Ridge Scientific and Natural Area (SNA). SNA’s are acquired to preserve places of ecological significance that contain rare plant and animal species, geologic formations and natural communities like remnant native prairies. All SNA’s are open to the public for nature observation, and educational and scientific research purposes. The FWS Visitor’s Center (above), located on County Road 17, is open to the public Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Interpretation is an important aspect of what the FWS provides. Adjacent to the interpretive center on the Wolf Lake WPA is a threequarter-mile interpretive walking trail complete with three observation decks, interpretive reading rail points, a floating dock, foot bridge, four bench nodes and a photo blind.

• Do not wander off trails. You have permission to ride the marked trails only. • Do not remove or destroy any trail signs. • Do not damage any trees, shrubs, etc. • Do not litter. • Take special care when crossing roadways and going through fenced areas. • Remember lakes are never completely safe due to springs, creeks and channels eroding the ice away from the underside. Stay close to shoreline whenever possible. • Remember all snowmobilers are judged by the actions of a few. Please do not cause any disturbances or damage to any property. • Where trails follow roads, obey all traffic laws and regulations. Keep to the right, dim lights, etc. • Snowmobilers are prohibited from operating on certain public streets in many towns. When in these areas, watch for marked streets or check with city officials.

Cottonwood County Historical Society
Located at 812 4th Ave., Windom.
507-831-1134
No admission charged for the museum. Fee of $2 to use the research library. Hours: Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
E
stablished in 1901 (formerly the Old Settlers Association), the Cottonwood County Historical Society has occupied the old Co-Op Oil Association building since 1973. The Society’s mission is to collect, preserve and disseminate the history of the county. The museum includes the Remick Gallery, Exhibit Hall and expanded research library.
Enjoy the contrast of an early 1940s kitchen prior to and after electricity. Check out the military uniforms and the memorabilia from World War I and II. A database is now available listing the veterans of the county. Any veteran from Cottonwood County who is not listed, is asked to pick up a form at the Front Desk. As Uncle Sam would say, “WE WANT YOU” in the database.
The Remick Gallery is a changing art gallery showcasing local and regional artists along with thematic shows. In April, county students showcase art work of varied mediums in the annual “Cottonwood County Student Art Show.” The summer exhibit is entitled “Hidden Nature,” by local photographer Jessica Bak. She encourages patrons to take a journey with her photographs through nature and find the hidden beauty. The exhibit runs from May 7 to Sept. 2. The fall exhibit features artist Haley Rothstein. Her exhibit, entitled “Return,” opens Sept. 17. She enjoys working in a number of mediums, including pen & ink, acrylic paintings and digital paintings. She feels art should be as much fun to look at as it is to think about. This exhibit runs through Nov. 18. For the month of December the gallery hosts the Festival of Trees with more than 15 Christmas trees decorated by local individuals, organizations and businesses.
Guests will step back in time to see a small chapel, general store/post office and farm workshop. Check out the temporary case that showcases artifacts from the collection and is changed three to four times a year. The lineup for this year is: 1) Banking in Cottonwood County; 2) Commemorating the beginning of World War I — 100 Years Ago; and 3) 50th Anniversary of the Fire on the North Side of the Square.
The Exhibit Hall has 3,000 square feet of space dedicated to the interpretation of the county’s rich history, from pre-European settlement to the early 20th century. A portion of the exhibit is completed, giving visitors an opportunity to spend time learning about the towns of the county and places of interest. See artifacts of the Plains Indian before visiting an immigrant log cabin with Norwegian heritage. Contrast their lifestyle to the English Yankee’s Victorian Parlor of the 1890s. Then, go to the head of the class at the one-room rural school.

Follow the trails through restored and virgin prairies teeming with cactus, blossoming flowers and rare plants. In the visitor’s center, you can view a video presentation about the site and exhibits, about American Indian culture and prairie ecology. Interpreters and hands-on activities help tell the story of the carvings and the prairie.

City Libraries
T
he Windom Public Library, established in 1883, is a free, safe and friendly environment offering patrons Internet access, free Wi-Fi, audio books, movies, magazines, bike locks, books, e-books and eaudio books. Reading programs are offered to children and adults. Other services the library provides are adult coloring, “Let’s Play Legos,” a puzzle exchange, story times and the ability to print and scan documents. Library staff also offer proctoring services for exams, while hosting events and entertainers throughout the year. As a member of the Plum Creek system, a nine-county cooperative which serves 26 libraries, including some school libraries, the library is able to access and share materials and resources offered through its member libraries. Located on the southwest corner of Windom’s downtown business district Square, the former First National Bank building, built in 1911, has been home to the library since 1985. The building of Bedford stone, marble pillars and granite walls was renovated by community volunteers to match, as closely as possible, the original colors of the bank’s decor. A large mural on the north wall of the main room, which was painted by Roy F. Olson in the late 1940s, features an early settler plowing with his oxen. The Friends of the Library, a group of volunteers that works to benefit the library and the community, provided funding in 2012 for the purchase of new stacks.

Rolling Hills Golf Club
Located 3 miles west of Westbrook on Hwy. 30.
507-274-5166
NON-RESIDENT FEES (PLUS TAX): Rates are, $12 for 9 holes weekdays, $15 on weekends; $15 for 18 holes weekdays, $18 on weekends. Clubs can be rented for $3 for the whole day. CART RENTALS: $12 for 9 holes; $15 for 18 holes.
N
estled in the scenic prairie west of Westbrook, Rolling Hills Golf Club is a course that lives up to its name. The gently-rolling terrain, coupled with trees, sand traps and water hazards, can challenge golfers of any skill level while still being gentle enough to walk comfortably. Playing the course will challenge every club in the bag and will test a golfer’s daring, skill and smarts. Rolling Hills is a classic “risk/reward” golf course, where the daring golfer will either be rewarded with lower scores if a bold shot is accurate or punished by hazards or tough lies if a risky shot goes awry. And every day can bring a new challenge, depending on speed and direction of the typical Southwest Minnesota winds — further putting each and every club in the bag to the test. The course is open to the public daily, excluding Tuesday Ladies’ League Day and Wednesday Men’s League Day. League play at the course begins in May. Contact the clubhouse to see if tee times are needed on a particular day. Cart rentals are also available. In addition to the weekly Ladies’ and Men’s Leagues, Rolling Hills also hosts numerous tournaments throughout the season. Among the highlights are the annual Two-Bar Tournament and the Healthcare Scramble in June and the Parent-Relative/Child Tournament in August. Rolling Hills also hosts an annual Youth Open as well as Ladies’ and Men’s Club Tournaments. Rolling Hills features the Hole 19 Restaurant in the clubhouse, which is open daily from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. after Mother’s Day. The clubhouse is also available to host parties and class reunions.
