The Sherburne Refuge Those words raise up images of open fields, Sand Hill Cranes, Crows, Ducks, Walking People, Fish, St Francis stream, Mahnomen Lake.
This was and is truly a Refuge. For Native Americans it was a burial ground on the shores of the lake .
Blue Hill was a place of worship. An outlook to view sunrise and sunset. The location for a white person burial ground.
In winter there was a cross country ski trail and a space for snow shoeing.
A grove of white pine was place was refuge for private conversation and touching.
The Sand Hill Cranes were so impressive. Standing as tall as a person they got attention. Could they would have tales to tell about the migration time
