How to get here?
Many ports in Europe will take you to the Boston or New York of The United States. Then westward along the Erie canal and the Great Lakes by boat. From there across wisconsin by either stage coach or oxcart To St.Paul In the Minnesota territory.
A Great town to begin a new life in is New Ulm
For Germans and Scandinavians this town is like a piece of home away from home.
This community was built on a site selected by German immigrants becuase it reminded them of home.
New Ulm is an excellent trading site because of the easy access to native traders and easy steamboat access to St. Paul.
