This is where the Swedes settled. Built their own telephone and electric systems. Poles? The farmers including my grandfather harvested the poles. Alpha is the Wood Lake Cemetery where the Swanson's are buried. East side of Alpha county Rd M goes south to the Swanson farm sites along the shore of Big Wood Lake. Old farmhouse hangs on by a thread. Big Gust was most famous citizen. 7'4 policeman. Grandpa's neighbor. Alpha Creamery is busy place and marketplace. Many of your cheese sticks come from there.
Thank you for this video, I was born and raised in Grantsburg. I grew up in the house next to Fiedler Ford, it was actually the 3rd house you showed when the video first started... I hope its ok that I share it on Facebook. I use to walk back to the river all the time when I was a kid. My dad was the town and county police man. When you did the last circle around you were above the home i grew up in...I loved this and I miss living here so much. Las Vegas Nv doesn't compare to Grantburg wi...Thanks Terrie Wistrom

Are your shooting this from an F-15 Tomcat!? That’s sweet!!!
Ya, the jet fuel is crazy expensive but well worth it to see Gantsburg from the air.
