The Stagecoach was an actual stop between Shakopee and Savage. During 1951 Ozzie and Marie Klavestad bought it to display his gun collection and named it the Stagecoach Museum. Over the years it expanded to include the Stagecoach Restaurant, Stagecoach Opera House and the Sand Burr Gulch, a recreated old west street complete with blacksmith, barber shop, saloon, and animated cowboy puppets that acted out jerky wild west scenes for the general public. The Klavestads sold the Stagecoach in 1981 and the place fell into ruin. With the widening of Highway 101 most of it was demolished in 1996. The Lavetta's original Stagecoach building still stands as Dahlen Signs, 901 Stagecoach Road, Shakopee Minnesota.

View of the saltie vessel Socrates grounded on Minnesota Point on November 18 and 19, 1985. Ships run aground every day, but not in our own back yard. The exception was Nov. 18, 1985, when a fall gale drove the 584-foot Socrates within 50 feet of a Park Point beach shoreline. It was a soft landing for the Liberian-registered freighter, which had been anchored in Lake Superior awaiting a cargo of grain. Although pounded ashore by waves, the saltie sustained only minor hull damage, recalls Dan Sydow of FedMar International, its local agent. Everyone took photographs of this event and the gigantic ship.
