Help solve the local history mystery!

📷 Time travel with us to "The Dugway" In Preston

Take a look at this incredible historic photo from the late 1800s/early 1900s, shared with us by Kevin Bakey from the Bakey Family Archives!

Notice how raw and exposed the limestone bluffs look compared to today, where thick greenery covers most of them. If you look closely, you can also spot a young Bakey boy sitting right against the rock face near the dirt road!

The postcard text in the corner reads "Dugway - Preston, Minn."

Help us solve a local history mystery:
Do you know where along the road or river this exact dugout bluff stretch was located? Drop your guesses or local lore in the comments below! 👇

A huge thank you to Kevin Bakey and family for sharing this piece of Preston’s past with our community!
