Freeburg, Crooked Creek Twp., Houston County, Minnesota
A visit to the settlement of my Luxemburgish ancestors.
Coming from Caledonia, you will come around a a quick corner and suddenly you see Freeburg. This town has a wonderful rural beauty to it. There is a row of houses on the left. Above the houses on a bluff sith St. Nicholas Catholic Church. St. Nicholas is the old settlement church. It is no longer used. On the right of the road is a valley and further right is another bluff. The valley in Freeburg appears to be an old farmstead. You can see the road heads to the right. Follow that road to the right and you will cross a nice little creek, Crooked Creek! Just past the creek is "Little Miami". Originally the site of the creamery and later a pool and later yet a popular bar and restaurant. More on that later.
