HISTORY
Our Town
Our town is small in size and population but during the summer the population grows as we are situated on the shores of Birch Lake and have 127 lakes within a 10 mile radius of town. We have great fishing both winter and summer, sunfish, blue gills, crappies, northern, walleye to name a few. In summer you can go swimming and boating, ride the bike trail, take a great walk and go fishing. Our Sweetheart Days events in July are held to honor Lucette Diana Kensack, the sweetheart of Paul Bunyan. See more information on page 9. Fall brings grouse hunting, deer season and driving through the countryside to see the beautiful fall colors as the leaves change from green to yellows, golds, reds and rusts. The snow in the winter gives us the winter wonderland look and it is time to come snowmobiling, ice fishing, skating and cross country skiing. Come play in the snow, do some snow sculpting, take your camera and go for a walk or snowshoe and enjoy the quiet of the north woods on your visit here.
There is a choice of 5 churches to attend on Sunday and 1 on Saturday. We have five different places where you can get anything from a hamburger or pizza to a full course meal, an ice cream cone or even just a cup of coffee and some conversation. For more summer fun we have tennis courts, swim beach, fishing pier, boat landing, kid’s park and play area, horse shoe pits, and lending library. There is a pavilion by the kid’s park and another by the horse shoe pits and, for rainy days or anytime, a 4 screen movie theater.
The other 1/3 of the building is utilized to store the fishing gear for the “Kids Fishing Contest” that takes place every Tuesday from mid-June through mid-August at the Fishing Pier adjacent to the statue of Paul Bunyan’s Sweetheart Lucette. You can find Little Paul standing guard by the old jail built in the late 1800’s and the city office building. The Library Board is working towards having the building included on the National Historic Register. However the building is in serious need of repairs. If you would like to help with these repairs, please donate to Hackensack Lending Library, PO Box 13, Hackensack MN 56452. If you have any questions or ideas, please contact Maggie McGill at 515-210-9028 or maggiemcgill7@gmail.com. Hackensack is proud to have a well trained Fire and Rescue Department, a clinic, and an assisted living facility. Our American Legion and Lions Clubs along with many other organizations volunteer a lot of time to our community and support the Chamber and others with their generous donations. So come and spend some time with us. Spring, summer, fall or winter you will always find things you can do and places you can go.
Our Lending library inhabits approximately 2/3 of a log cabin built in 1937 by local residents through the WPA works. One room holds books for children of all ages and has a nice selection of the Classics. Small tables and chairs for the youngsters and a comfortable chair for mom, dad, grandma or grandpa to sit in and read to children. The center area of the building has adult books including a number by Minnesota authors. No library card needed and no time frame to return.
HISTORY OF HACKENSACK Settlement in the Hackensack area began in Lothrop, a few miles north of the current community. James Curo built a log building, which housed his living quarters, a grocery, a general store, and a post office. The Ojibwa Indians mostly inhabited the area, but settlers began building around Curo’s enterprise as early as 1884. When the railroad pushed north in 1896, Lothrop was abandoned. No trace of the town exists today. Hackensack was officially put on the map in 1902, and Bye Bartlett and Curo, who came to the area from Hackensack, N.J, decided its name. Industry at the time centered on logging and a sawmill. The Minnesota and

International Railroad came through town on the site of the current Paul Bunyan Trail. Most of the retail shops were built of wood, many of which were destroyed by fires. Several of these structures were replaced with brick structures. In 1915 the Royal Ice Cream Parlor was a busy place-serving tourists in the area and was also known as a place to buy fireworks. There were several hotels, general stores, and even a hospital on Pleasant Lake. There was a bank, but the depression led to its demise. Today there are many businesses, as you will see in this guide.
THE LEGEND OF LUCETTE HISTORY
Midway between Brainerd and Bemidji stands near the shore of Hackensack’s beautiful Birch Lake a seventeen foot statue of Lucette Diana Kensack, sweetheart and wife of the legendary Paul Bunyan whose footprints filled with water and became our land of lakes. Lucette grew much faster than other children and her parents were in need of a bigger room for such a large girl on the family farm in Iowa. Then Lucette’s aunt and uncle issued a plea for help in their north woods logging camp and Lucette went to Minnesota to help out. Upon her arrival, the aunt and uncle realized that they would need to build a larger cabin so they called upon Paul Bunyan to help level some trees for the building. Paul arrived, and with one swoop of his axe, leveled enough trees to make her a home. Having never seen the girl, Paul ran into her one day in the woods, when she was poking among the forest undergrowth seeking mushrooms. Aside from the fact that she was a size more fitting to Paul’s own size, and even appeared to be somewhat deformed on her right hip, he fell in love. Following a suitable courting period, they were married back in the Iowa Territory on June 9, 1838. Paul & Lucette’s Marriage Certificate and wedding band can be found at the Visitor’s Center. Lucette stands serene, a goddess calmly surveying the local scene, secure in the knowledge that the second Wednesday in every July, there will be thousands to pay her homage. As with complete composure, she stands above each annual Sweetheart Days event. The reality of Lucette is she is the creative masterpiece of Doad Schroeder, an old-time resident and store owner in Hackensack. After a long period of mulling over the notion that the little village of Hackensack needed a gimmick of some kind, Schroeder put himself to the task in 1950. He constructed a wooden frame, did some shaping with boards and metal lath, added some insulation and a good portion of cement and sand. Topping Lucette off with genuine moose eyes, he offered his community a colorful and sizeable tourist attraction, and one that has been a summer-long drawing card for photographers and sightseers. In 1951 a national contest was launched to select a name for this creation, and the name Lucette Diana Kensack was entered by a woman from Iowa. On June 27th 1952, the first Paul Bunyan Sweetheart Festival was held in Hackensack. It’s bound to be a real celebration July 9th through the 13th 2022 when we will have the 70th Anniversary of Sweetheart Days in Hackensack. In 1991, a high wind toppled Lucette’s head, but residents of Hackensack were prompted to repair the damage. When they took her down, they discovered she was pregnant. She returned with a new face, and Paul Jr. appeared with her and was installed at his mother’s side. In 2005, Paul Jr. was moved and can now be found in front of the Hackensack City Hall. Lucette continues to play a role, not only in Hackensack, but also in references found in the University of Minnesota annals and in some school textbooks. Lucette even has a 20-foot shawl to keep her warm in winter, just in time for Back to Hack in January.

HACK JANUARY 14, 15 & 16
Back to Hack is the Hackensack area winter festival. The winter festival started many years ago when a group of people tried to figure out something fun to celebrate the winter and get out of the house. We have Sweet Heart Days in the summer and the group came up with the idea of bringing your “Sweetheart Back To Hack” in the winter.
Back to Hack celebrates winter with activities including Frostbite Your Fanny Fun Run, Paul Bunyan Family Fishing Contest, Medallion Hunt, kids games in the snow, snow sculpting, and a community bonfire and fireworks.

We have a great raffle every year with the chance at many great prizes from our local area businesses. The attendance has grown every year for Back to Hack since it has started which makes it a fun filled weekend with laughter, great conversations and the fun of meeting new people. So if you are getting a little cabin fever this winter stop by Hackensack and join in the fun. There is something for all ages. Just remember its winter and all events are subject to the weather and ice conditions.

Once you find the Visitor’s Center, you will be in the middle of a major piece of the action in Hackensack because it is located adjacent to the city’s Lakeside Park, dedicated to Bill and Bette Green, who were chiefly responsible for the park’s development. The park features a playground for the children with a variety of activities, and behind it is a covered pavilion for picnicking and a swimming beach, with a dock. Directly across from the Center, is a volunteer library in a log cabin. The library is open in the warmer months, but you can call someone in the colder months to get reading materials. The City has a new aqua colored Lending Book Box located along the park fencing North of the Visitor's Center, donated by the Birch Lake Association in 2017. Ask at the Visitor’s Center. Behind the library is a “butterfly garden,” done by the Birch Lake Association and to the west stretches the City Pier, site of the Kid’s Fishing Contest in the summer months. Adjacent to that is the boat landing. Lucette stands tall between the city pier and the boat landing. As the park moves north, there is a second covered pavilion and the tennis courts. If you travel south, you will find the Hackensack Post Office and directly behind it is The Hub, formerly the Hackensack Senior Citizen Center. Moving to the east side of Highway 371 on Lake Avenue one block is the Hackensack Community Center and across from it is the assisted living facility. The facility was built on the former site of the Hackensack school. On the north end of the facility is the Hackensack Clinic, open five days a week from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A physician’s assistant is on hand to treat patients. The Clinic is part of Essentia Medical Center and hospital out of Brainerd. WILDLIFE PARK IN HACKENSACK Bonna Paulson loved white-tailed deer, especially feeding them. When Bonna passed away, her will provided that her property be dedicated to the City of Hackensack as a wildlife park, to be forever a place to feed the deer and enjoy nature. The original gift of 29 acres of property borders the City limits east of Union Congregational Church. The estate also purchased the adjacent property for a total of approximately 30 acres. Traveling north on Hwy 371 turn right on Lake Avenue East to arrive at the park. Foot traffic only is allowed in the park and all dogs must be on a leash. The park is open from 7:00 am-10:00 pm daily. The acreage includes several deer feeding plots open to the public, wildlife observation areas, walking paths, picnic areas, and other places to sit and enjoy nature while enjoying your “Walk in the Park.” Our little town of Hackensack, Minn. plans to build a fenced-in dog park. The city has enthusiastically invited a committee of the Game Changers of Hackensack, to build the park on .8 acres in beautiful Bonna Paulson Park, which is two blocks east of downtown, just past Union Church. There already are wonderful trails in the park for walking your dog on leash; however, we know dogs need and love to run and play. We want to provide that for our local dogs and, as a northern Minnesota vacation destination, for our visiting dogs and their owners. We will have the first fenced-in dog park in all of Cass County and will welcome dogs and their owners from surrounding communities. Please join us in making a tax-deductible donation to help us build the Hackensack Dog Park. Make checks payable to the Initiative Foundation, 405 1st St. SE, Little Falls, MN 56345. Please note "Hackensack Dog Park" in the memo line. Your generous gift will be available immediately to support the operations of the Hackensack Dog Park. https://www.givemn.org/story/Hlacf-Dogpark

There’s also suppliers to help with some of the finishing touches, whether it be rock work or flooring. If you are a person who likes to do it yourself, there are companies who can rent the equipment you need to get the job done - thus saving you the expense of buying equipment that you will not need on an everyday basis.

RESORTS
Enjoy Our Area Accommodations Our resorts are the heart of your family vacation - where you can escape to enjoy the sunrise or the sunset over the lake, sit around the campfire, swim, fish and just plain relax. You can enjoy many amenities at your resort - watch the wildlife, go for a boat ride, or find new family activities. Escape from the television and phones, embrace a week (or more) of family fun, new adventures and the great outdoors. Many of our resorts started in the 1940s and 1950s with individual cabins on the lake. Every cabin is unique as is every resort, and cabins are close enough to make friends with your neighbors, but
far enough away to enjoy your privacy. They’re the type of resorts to bring the kids and share the life that “used to be” - long before television, computers, and electronic games took interest away from togetherness. You’ll meet other families and make new friends - sometimes lifelong friends from all over the country. Many people reserve the same week every year just so they can meet their friends “from the lake,” get re-acquainted and catch up on what’s happened over the year.
