Pine County Promotional Booklet – Part 21

The following text about Willow River comes from the 1926 promotional booklet entitled Pine County: Where Folks are Homeowners

Willow River 

Willow River, located on the Northern Pacific railway and Highway No. 1, just forty miles from Pine City, the county seat, is a town with a future. 

Its growth depends upon the farm lands surrounding it, and these are rapidly being developed. Dairy herds, promising cream, cash, and contentment, are a part of this community. 

The Willow River grade and high school is a beautifully constructed building not surpassed by any in surrounding towns. It gives the youth of its community the advantage of a high school education at home which means much to the parent and child. 

Religious education also need not be neglected for there are three churches, namely, Presbyterian, Catholic, and Lutheran. 

Due to the demand and market for good eggs and poultry the territory around this town can boast of many a profitable poultry flock, some making handsome profits from this source. 

A number of lakes, one as near as three-fourths of a mile from town, furnish fishing and bathing beaches and coax many a tourist from his dusty trail. 

Surely no new farming community can have more advantages and beauty-spots than are at Willow River and in surrounding community.
