Why, fetch )'our swimming attire (most likely woolen) and motor out to one of the resorts on Bean Lake. Resorts? Yes, there were two. But first, let's clear up the name of the lake. Bean Lake was not named for a vegetable, (soy beans weren't even thought of then) but for the first homesteader in Cottonwood County after Wahl reunion The grandchildren of the late Mary and Cornelius Wahl family gathered at the Westbrook City Park on Sunday, July 25. About 50 cousins enjoyed the perfect weather for a noon meal and had a great time see- ing each other and sharing their family news. Some came as far as CA, NV, and TX. Also attending the reunion were their aunts, Lil Knudson and Irene Wahl from Westbrook and Sadie Falon of Minneapolis. the Indian problem in 1862. Joseph F.. Bean was born in Massachusetts in 1836 and came with his parents to Dakota County, MN in 1855. He served in the MN Volunteer Cavalry against the Indians, a cases latest group that scouted this area toward Lake Shetek. In 1866, he made a claim for 171.5 acres of land in Section 14 of Westbrook Township where the lake is located. His family moved there in 1869. He held sev- eral early township offices, and later his son, Walter, did also. He was active in encouraging settlers to come to this part of Cottonwood County. The lake shores were known for high-quality sand, which was used in the cement foundations for man), pioneer farm build- ings as well as for buildings and early sidewalks in Westbrook. One resort was started by the Ristvedt family on land th@ owned on the north shore of the lake in which the son, Walter, a business " man in Westbrook, was very active. The larger, longer last- ing resort on the south side of the lake, was operated by the P.H. Peterson family. Entrance was gained through their farmyard, and admission of 10 cents a car was charged. There was a choice of many activ- ities -- fishing, boating, swimming and diving, per- haps listening to a band concert or watching a ball game played in the pas- ture. The popcorn stand did a thriving business. But for a real adventure, noth- ing compared to the thrill of the Sellner water slide. You would have to carry a wooden toboggan (there were 12) and climb the many steps to the top before plunging down the long slide into the lake. The slide was set at an angle to the shore so non- swimmers wouldn't land in deep water• And for the extremely adventurous, there would sometimes be early airplane tides for 50 cents a passenger. The roller rink was also popu- lar. Originally built in a circular form, it was enlarged to an oval shape which made for better skat- ing. The skating rink was a favorite place for class parties for schools in the surrounding area. The dry years of the thirties started the decline of the resort as the water of the lake receded and the lake even dried up. However, the roller rink continued to operate into the 1940's. So now on a Sunday afternoon, you can't motor out to a resort on Bean Lake. But you can come to the Heritage House Museum and see one of the toboggans used on the water slide and other inter- esting bits of our communi- ty's early history.
