Minnesota Shell Prairies
In the late 1800’s, word got out about an untouched, treeless area near what is now Park Rapids. Open areas within the northern Minnesota woods called the Shell Prairies. This documentary looks at the history of those who first settled there, the development of the Wheat Trail and the story of a community that once flourished because of these prairies, that is now a ghost town.
