NEW YOUTUBE VIDEO!The Cokato Museum has partnered up with the Cokato Finnish Historical Society to produce a new Youtube video "Two Finns and a Swede, The Log Cabin's History." Elias Peltopera, was a Finnish immigrant, who came to the Cokato area in 1865 to stake his claim. He was accompanied by his friends Mathias Karjenaho, Olaf Westerberg, and John Viinikka, who staked neighboring claims. Elias Peltopera's home was the first of the four built by the companions.
The video "Two Finns and a Swede, The Log Cabin's History" is set to drop early March on the Cokato Museum & Akerlund Studio’s YouTube channel. |
