- In the 1850s, the Minnesota River was the main transportation corridor from St. Paul to Mankato. There were also stagecoach lines on either side of the river that connected the two cities. One of these lines ran by the Ney Farmstead, in northwest Le Sueur County, Minnesota, near Henderson. Remnants of a brick and wood building remain at the Ney Farmstead today, which are believed to be a stagecoach stop. Explore the remains of this building and tour the Ney and Karlow farms, which are being preserved as part of the Ney Nature Center, a Le Sueur County Park.

... once again an amazing film-documentary about a very beautiful and interesting part of Minnesota. Thank you very much for this - great that once again two farmsteads played a role. They are so wonderful! The surroundings of the farms have a special atmosphere... kind of magical.

@ 7:00 your topographical map, gives an excellent visual, of how deep and wide, Glacial River Warren was! With the huge volume of water flowing through the river an incredible amount of gravel was laid down in the valley. That’s why all up and down the Minnesota River valley you see a lot of gravel pits.
Well, I visited the site today and there are wonderful photo opportunities of the old farm. Thanks again for sharing your video!
Great video! I’m surprised you didn’t go during this very warm winter when all the leaves were down and you would’ve had better visibility of your surroundings.
+1.. Always the very best! Cheers, Vail, Colorado
I just wanted to let you know in the comment section here that there is a preserved stage coach that used to run along this line and stop at the stagecoach stop! The stagecoach is stored at the Hubbard House Museum in Mankato if you want to see it.
Geological note. As glacial Lake Agassiz was draining the entire valley was filled with water from glacial River Warren. So, in a way, the nature preserve would’ve been right along the shores of the glacial river.
We took family pictures there about five years ago
