How Otter Tail County got its name Before there were roads in the wilderness area, the best method of transportation was by water. The early explorer would portage from Leaf Lake to Portage Lake to Donald This otter sculpture, in the city of Lake to Pelican Ottertail, depicts the furbearing Bay on Otter Tail animal after which the city and Lake and be on his county are named. way through Canada to Hudson Bay. The first explorers through this area about 1750 were a Frenchman and an Englishman. They met with a band of Indians on the shore of “Lac de la Queue de la Outer,” which translates roughly to the Lake of the Otter’s Tail. This is on record in the archives of Congress. Some believe the name derives from the sandbar shaped like an otter's tail where the Otter Tail River enters Otter Tail Lake. Now, over two centuries later, the otter's tail sandbar is still there.

The In Their Own Words Veteran’s Museum opened in Perham in 2006. Several years in the making, the museum features first-hand experiences of area veterans in Europe, Korea, Viet Nam and the Middle East and includes exhibits from World War I through the current conflicts in the Middle East. Featuring audio commentaries, re-dramatizations of events leading up to and during the wars of the 20th Century, and interactive identity kiosks, ITOW is believed to be the only museum of its kind. Excerpts from over 140 oral histories are included. In addition to exhibits about veterans, there are also displays about the homefront. History comes alive in a very personal way. ITOW is housed in a renovated VFW Post headquarters and is located at 805 West Main in Perham. Hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 to 5 and Sundays from 1 to 4. General admission is $4.00 with free admission for all veterans. More information is available at 218-346-7678 or www.ITOWmuseum.org.

The History Museum of East Otter Tail County Built originally as an Episcopal church, this historic building now contains displays and exhibits about the people and places of East Otter Tail County. At the History Museum the past comes alive with early motion pictures, photographic essays and interpretive exhibits. The museum is housed in a 1887 historic stone structure and the building itself is definitely worth a look. The Museum’s website allows you to search both volumes of the East Otter Tail History Books, the Register of Births and Deaths in Perham from 1882 to 1900, and an index to the Enterprise Bulletin Newspapers which dates back to 1883. You can also search our collection of Historical Photographs. The History Museum of East Otter Tail County was one of the first to make local historical records available online. A genealogy lab welcomes visiting researchers. The museum has also compiling a record of Finnish language newspapers.

NEW YORK MILLS REGIONAL CULTURAL CENTER The New York Mills Regional Cultural Center is a place to experience big-time arts and culture in small-town Minnesota. Best known for hosting the “Great American Think-Off,” an annual common man’s philosophy debate, the cultural center is much more than the nationally recognized debate of armchair philosophers. Each year the center brings to the region a wide variety of artistic culture generally not found in rural Minnesota.

The cultural center is a great place to attend one of the many concerts featuring a host of talented musicians. Inside the gallery visitors can find a wide variety of art exhibits, discussion groups, workshops and art classes throughout the year. The center seats about 125 for concerts and provides excellent acoustics for monthly musical performances, including blues, jazz, folk and classical.

OTTER TAIL COUNTY MUSEUM- FERGUS FALLS Even before you walk into the Otter Tail County Museum in Fergus Falls, you’re greeted by a large garden on the front lawn in which numerous varieties of heirloom vegetables, flowers and herbs are growing. Using only old heirloom variety seeds, the garden allows people to see what kinds of plants our ancestors were growing, and how those plants differ from modern hybrids. This unusual garden is definitely worth a visit. Once inside the museum, you’re greeted by a cheerful, well-stocked gift shop. Browsing around the shop reveals a treasure of handcrafted jewelry and gifts, Native American crafts,

books on local history and many different children’s games and toys (just the kind to keep kids busy on long trips). The best is yet to come as you enter the exhibit gallery. As you walk among the compelling life size period rooms, your mind wanders to a time long ago. You can almost smell bread baking in a wood stove, or hear the sound of a steam engine as it powers the unwiedly threshing machine through fields of wheat. Children especially enjoy the wildlife diorama, doing hands-on activities in the natural history discovery room and reading the many tellme-mores.
