It was the 1850s when the first settlers arrived in the area that would become Willmar, Minnesota. Encouraged by the land itself, they came for the fertile soil and the beauty and serenity provided by the landscape.

No matter the circumstance, they would band together to face whatever arrived and join together in both celebration and sorrow.
