Buffalo skull with horns in 2 pieces. Found by Nicole, Lindsay, and Talitha Svenning near Star Lake in Minnewaska Township. Buried in sandy soil about 8 feet under. Andrew and Mary Arneson owned the land. In the 1870s they built a sod home. The land was later owned by Anton Arneson who built a log home. Three additions have been made to the log home which is still intact. Casper Arneson sold the property to Dave Arneson in 1974.Related People and Organizations
