History

It bills itself as "America's Trout Capital," with a 20-foot trout placed along Minnesota State Highway 16.

The old Preston grain elevator used to be known as the Milwaukee Elevator Company Grain Elevator. It was built with "cribbed" construction, which has to do with interlocking bins. Now the Preston Historical Society is trying to restore the structure. It was built around 1890 for holding grain for shipment by railroad to the East Coast of the United States cities of the United States. At the time it was a lot stronger and a lot more expensive to build it this way than to build it in stud construction.
