The Grove to Timely Mission Nursing Home in Buffalo Center
A long nostalgia charged piece recalls Buffalo Center history from The Grove on the hill to the Timely Mission Nursing Home. The writer describes how the former cornfields and boyhood antics, including Scout days and makeshift baseball games, gave way to a modern care facility after 1964 community action. The article notes local families and residents linked to the land, from the Miller and Jensvold farms to present caretakers, and closes with a caution against smoking.
