Cutting Ice on Lake Minnetonka

When these photos were taken in 1950, Verne West had been cutting and selling ice on Lake Minnetonka for 35 years. Like his father before him, West stored slabs of winter ice to sell to summertime Lake Minnetonka residents. Every year West cut about 4,000 pieces of ice, each weighing about 200 pounds. West worked alone, using only his 1922 Model T Ford engine to power his ice cutter and his 1924 Model T engine to power his conveyor belt.

Minnesota's Most Expensive Home, On Sale For Almost $12.5 Million

Woodland Glen, a country estate sitting on nearly 3.5 acres overlooking Lake Minnetonka, is the priciest home in Minnesota. Built in 1988 and measuring almost 20,000 square feet, the place — listed for $12.49 million — boasts six bedrooms and a rather excessive 12 bathrooms.

The home's luxurious furnishings include a grand twin staircase, coffered ceilings, marble floors, a decked-out kitchen and a (again, excessive) dozen fireplaces.

Elsewhere in the giant house, there's a personal movie theater, a bar, a game room and an impressively sized indoor lap pool. And because no rich person's home is complete without a tennis court, there's one sat lakeside with enviable views of the water. This place has twelve fireplaces. Twelve.

Lake Minnetonka Streetcar Boats

In the early 1900s, streetcars were quickly becoming the way Twin Cities residents commuted to work and play. The Twin City Lines streetcar network was growing across the metro area, including a new line to Excelsior on the banks of Lake Minnetonka in 1905. After reaching Excelsior, though, the streetcar company faced a problem: Lake Minnetonka was an incredibly popular summer destination, but its many bays and miles of shoreline made additional streetcar lines impractical. What could be done? The answer: streetcar boats.

Starting in the summer of 1906, six "Twin City Express Boats" operated on the lake. Within a couple of years, the streetcar boats regularly stopped at over 25 docks across the lake. From any scheduled stop, express boat riders could arrive at a streetcar stop in 45 minutes or less. From there, the ride to Minneapolis was just another 45 minutes. For the first time, people could live on Lake Minnetonka and easily commute to work downtown and vice versa.

Despite the huge success of streetcar boats in their early years, ridership declined in the 1920s. As roads improved and the automobile surpassed the streetcar in popularity, the streetcar boats were abandoned. All streetcar boat service ended in 1926, and the boats were sold or purposely sunk.

In 1980, one of the sunken boats, Minnehaha, was discovered and raised. After years of careful restoration, Minnehaha is now owned by the Museum of Lake Minnetonka.

This brochure from the early 1900s is a new addition to our Minneapolis and Hennepin County Vertical Subject Files.
