How Our Community Looked One Hundred Years Ago
Vera Hangartner recalls Dover Mills a Norwegian settlement five and a half miles west of Clermont. The town centered on a flour mill powered by a river dam with a combined general store post office creamery and two houses. Roads were muddy without gravel, a wooden bridge spanned the river, and team and buggy travel plus a stage route were common. The area was cleared homesteaded, the school stood nearby, and only foundation stones and drainage tiles remain today.
