Between my house and Dassel, MN

First, on my way to the freeway I saw this really great new mural on the side of Merit Printing (they always have a great mural on their building), this one was done by Juxtaposition Arts:




In the town of Waverly (which, not to be mean, seems like one of the most boring places on earth) I found a good Hamm's sign, too bad it looks new and not original:


The Waverly Village Hall is this great Art Deco building built by the WPA that is one the National Register:


Why was I going to Dassel, a small farm town 60 miles from downtown Mpls? Because they have hired me to make a short documentary on the historical society's building! The building used to be an ergot lab, so that in itself is petty interesting. This old Chevy was used to haul grain, someone has written "mom" on one door and "dad" on the other:


Here are some shots of the building, which is also on the National register:
