1965 Flood at St. Peter

April 1965

Description

Mill Pond Dike. B/W photo. This dike along the west side of the mill pond in St. Peter was quickly overwhelmed by the rapidly rising flood water of the Minnesota River in 1965. The photograph was taken from slightly higher ground at the east end of Nassau Street, looking upstream. I, Bob Sandeen, helped to construct this dike, along with Clayton Davis and a number of other volunteers.
