Mitchell Homestead Named for Cottage Area Losses
The flood control project submerged 19 valley quarters and forced relocation of farm buildings. The Mitchell homestead, built around 1890, was burned as part of the retreat from the rising Assiniboine downstream area. A cottage site is planned with August 8 draw for lots, but no sign honors the Mitchell family. Residents downstream and upstream were displaced and many farms disappeared under water. Mitchell Park or Mitchell Drive should memorialize the family.
