The 80 foot cross on the Odalen site has now been lit and can be seen from Peppermint Hill south of Edinburg.  It is an awesome sight.

New pictures are on the "Picture Page"

Welcome to Winter!

January is quickly coming to a close.  Time sure does go by quickly.  We have enjoyed beautiful balmy weather and experienced bitingly bitter cold.  What contrasts we have had.

Jay Swanson sent me an email about the picture below.  He said it was the youngest picture of his dad he had ever seen. 

Jay commented that the young man on the left of the picture is Lester (Casey) Howard.  Jay said he worked for Glenn Laithwaite for many years and then helped out at the hardware store when Jay and John Langerud were owners.  Jay said he had wonderful memories of Casey and that he and John were pall bearers at Casey's funeral.  Thanks for the email Jay.

Edinburg is indeed a fine place to live!

This picture was possibly taken in the 1920's in front of the Edinburg School.  Jackie Flaten sent it.  Her grandfather, Johnnie Swanson is the little fellow in the front row wearing the hat.  I am sorry I could not make the picture any larger for identification purposes.

Maybe someone reading this website can identify some of the students.  If so, please let me know.  And, thank you Jackie for sending the picture.  Past memories of Edinburg are SO welcome.

Graduates of 1962

If you read this and graduated with the class of '62 well, next summer is our 50th.  Anyone interested in having a reunion please let me (Rita) know.  Hopefully we can get something going.  Also class of '63 think about possibly joining us for a summertime reunion.  Or for that matter, any class that would like to participate!

Northeast North Dakota is a well-kept secret, especially the little town of Edinburg.  It sits on the edge of the fertile farmland of the Red River Valley and the prairies of the west.  Edinburg has a population of about 250 people with the drive, dreams and heart of cities 10 times its size.  Edinburg could be a "throw-back" to the 50's with its pristine cleanliness, manicured yards and well-kept homes, but it is most definitely planted in the 21st century with citizens who strive to keep Edinburg very much alive!
