of Prior Lake, got her reputation for being tough on crime by firing a shotgun volley at a couple of robbers in 1922, that’s the place to do it.

But Shakopee itself has a lot of history to offer, she said. Some of it is boozy. Check out the files on Shakopee’s Prohibition-era speakeasies. Some of it’s petty, like its old feud with neighboring

Jordan over which city gets to be the county seat. Shakopee won, and the Scott County Government Center is just up the street from the historical society.

And, there’s a rich Native American vein through its past, present and future.

Shakopee’s history is long and complicated and plural, and Klehr thinks

People lined the streets of downtown Shakopee, many taking videos and photos of the Clydesdales clopping by. that kind of reflects what the town is today. It’s friendly, sure, but it’s also got a budding downtown, a flourishing arts scene and kind of a wild side — considering it’s still a haven for wining, dining and gambling.

If Shakopee were a person, she said, it’d be your cool old uncle: a warm, goofy guy not above giving you your first sip

of beer when you’re still 18.

But less metaphorically, Shakopee has a lot of variety in what it has to offer: riverside vistas; the free Rhythm on the Rails outdoor concert series; the Minnesota Renaissance Festival; horse, ostrich and weiner dog races at Canterbury Park; and a growing number of engaged, passionate citizens.

It’s also a place for all different sorts of people. Every year, the city’s International Festival, run by the Shakopee Diversity Alliance, celebrates all the different communities and traditions found in the area.

If you’re new, Klehr said, come on down to the historical society.

“We’ll tell [you] all about it,” she said.

WHAT’S WHAT’S NEWNEW

What’s new, Shakopee?

I

n November 2017, the city of Shakopee and the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community jointly unveiled a new face looking out from downtown Shakopee.

The face was that of Chief Sakpe: the leader of the Mdewakanton Dakota village in the mid-1800s, and the descendant of Chief Sakpe II, Shakopee’s namesake. Now, when people pass the Shakopee sign at the town’s Highway 101 entrance, they’ll see a statue of Chief Sakpe leading a horse and looking out over the horizon.

Shakopee is changing all the time: Late in the summer of 2017, city government moved its staff and services into a new over 25,000-square-foot facility near the Shakopee Police Department.

Also new in town — a Hy-Vee, which caused a stir when it opened later that year, and the Shakopee Energ y Park, which produces power for Shakopee and 11 other communities. My Pillow even got a piece of the action and opened up a manufacturing facility in town.

There are plans for the future, too: a new restaurant, Willy McCoy’s, named for a famous bootlegger. A new regional trail, which will make County Highways 78 and 79 walkable — even bikeable. A new Fairfield Inn and Suites is planned for 12th Avenue.

And the biggest change of all: Shakopee is growing. A report from the United States Census Bureau named it among Minnesota’s fastest-growing cities for the 2010-2016 period, with over 3,000 new residents.

A

s a growing town of more than 40,0 0 0 people, with plenty others who commute to the city for work each day, it’s no surprise that Shakopee is home to several large companies that make all kinds of things.

Here are a few of them:

robots that work in the company’s warehouse, too.

The global company set up shop off County Highway 101 and Shenadoah Drive, near Canterbury Park, in 2015.

It serves as a sortation center for small items. Nothing larger than a microwave is sent from here.

Many of these items are printed and shipped from the Shakopee location, which has been in town since 2014. The facility also houses office space.

MYPILLOW Anyone who has watched an hour of TV in their life has probably seen a MyPillow commercial. Owner Mike Lindell, a Chaska native, is so well-known for his pillows, he even sells cardboard cutouts of himself holding one.

It makes sense Lindell and his claim to fame are so recognized, considering the company has sold more than 6 million pillows. With all its production based in Shakopee, the company employs about 1,500 people here, complete with a new store-

front that opened in 2017 at its warehouse on Fourth Avenue.

ENTRUST DATACARD Entrust Datacard employs about 1,000 people and is still somewhat of a newcomer to Shakopee after relocating its headquarters here in 2015.

Entrust Datacard, which has 34 locations worldwide, offers secure transaction technologies ranging from financial cards, passports and identification cards to digital authentication, certificates and secure communications.

SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY California-based Seagate Technology fits in just fine in Shakopee, a place a number of technology companies call home.

Seagate, which employs about 800 people in Shakopee, is a provider of hard disk drives

and storage solutions, producing products for a wide range of applications, including enterprise, desktop, mobile computing, consumer electronics and for the retail market.

RAHR MALTING CO. Rahr Malting Co., located on First Avenue on the east side of Shakopee, produces and distributes malt and other brewing supplies for a global customer base. BSG (formerly Brewers Supply Group), is a wholly owned subsidiary of Rahr Malting that offers an array of ingredients and products for craft brewers, wineries and micro distilleries.

In 2016, the company opened a new 115 ,0 0 0 - squ a r e -fo ot malt house, 2 0,0 0 0 -square foot pilot brewery and technical center, 15,000-square-foot maintenance warehouse and 80,000-square-foot BSG ware-

NORTH AIRE MARKET North Aire Market has been in Shakopee since it was founded by Maggie Mortensen and Mary Dodds in 1987. Last year, the company opened a store front in downtown Shakopee, in addition to its Shakopee warehouse.

T he compa ny’s pri ma r y product is a line of national award-winning dry soup mixes sold under the brands Maggie & Mary’s and Camp Traditions.

The company also produces a line of popcorn kits under the brand Pop It Top It, which is sold in specialty retailers across the country. The company also produces dip, appetizer, dessert and beverage mixes. In addition to their own products, North Aire Market produces private-label specialty foods for large, national accounts.

For outdoors lovers, the Minnesota Valley State Trail goes right through downtown Shakopee, and connects the city to Belle Plaine in the south and Bloomington to the north. The trail runs along the river and is paved between Shakopee and Chaska, with natural surface from Chaska to Belle Plaine.

The trail is ideal for biking, hiking, rollerblading and, if you’ve got a permit, horseback riding and snowmobiling.

Historic homes of Shakopee

BY KATHLEEN KLEHR

T The H.B. Strait House was built in 1898 at 414 West Third Avenue and is one of the original Victorian style homes in Shakopee. It was built by Civil War officer, Congressman and MN Stove Company founder G.L. Nye before being bought by H.B Strait, who was a threetime mayor of Shakopee.

he Shakopee townsite was platted in 1854 by Thomas Holmes and businesses soon sprang up.

Lime kilns and brickmaking for construction, flour mills and brewing for sustenance and lots of trade — blacksmiths, law office, wagon shops, general stores, hotels, opera house, banks, feed store, butcher, drug store, millinery, dress making/tailor and more provided the services needed for Shakopee to grow.

From the 1850s steamboats were making daily runs to Shakopee, giving way to railroads in the 1860s. Houses sprang up along with town development.

One of the oldest houses in Shakopee was the A. B. Jones house at 519 First Avenue East, built in 1856 as a 24-by-24-foot

limestone house. This is a great example of how house design can change over time with additions and design details added to enlarge the space and enhance its street presence.

Henry Schroeder, whose father owned the town brickyard and hardware businesses, purchased the property in 1905. Henry was a Shakopee mayor, bank director, and president of the American Range Co. This house reflects his roots and stature in the community; roof brackets were added to emphasize the roofline, corbelled brick provided depth and detail, while the columns between the windows give the home a strong entrance element.

The house at 419 Second Avenue East was originally built in 1865 for housing railroad workers, but because railroad buildings changed hands so much, little is known about the early owners. The house was constructed with local brick, has arched win-

The Stans house at 128 Second Ave. W is very similar to a pattern house — a house that could be purchased from a catalog (usually Sears) and shipped to you. This house, built in 1908, is a Dutch-Colonial style, rather barn-like with a deep front porch. This size is typical of a working-man’s house, front parlor, dining room, kitchen and bedroom on the main floor, and two to three bedrooms on the upper floor.

When plumbing was added to a house, a bedroom was usually sacrificed and remodeled into a bathroom.

Shakopee also has its share of Victorian houses, (c18701910). Civil War Officer, congressman, and founder of the MN Stove Co. G. L. Nye built the house at 414 West Third

Similar style houses include the Eli Southworth residence c1875-1895, and the J. A. Ring House c19 01. These houses have classic Victorian details including grand entrances, wrap-around front porches, turned wood, towers or turrets, decorative trim work, bay windows, roof brackets and asymmetrical roof lines.

The house sports beautiful brick quoining at the corners, while the arched brick headers and sills give the house visual depth. There are beautiful arched shutters on the upper attic window. The house was built around 1905.

Houses aren’t the only structures with interesting history — outbuildings have great history, too. The “garage” at 504 Second Ave. West was built of limestone around 1854 and is probably the oldest structure in Shakopee. The building was originally a livery stable and hog-rendering facility in the 1800s. Both businesses help tell the story of Shakopee’s early years — early transportation and food preservation.

One of the best ways to learn of your house’s history is to read its abstract, usually held by the title company. This document is a wealth of information, from the earliest platting of the parcel, to improvements, change in ownership and much more.

Abstracts are priceless and offer clues to your home’s history.
