The first time I’d heard reference to Marietta, Minnesota, I was a college student living in a large, North Mankato, MN, rental house – 1976, I believe. (The summer of “Afternoon Delight” to add a music reference) A room was available and in moved a recent high school graduate to the top floor of the old Range Street house.
Me: Where are you from?
Her: Marietta, Minnesota
Me: Hmmm… never heard of it. Where is it?
Her: East of Watertown, South Dakota and west of Madison, Minnesota
Me: That doesn’t help – haven’t heard of them, either.

As fate would have it, 7 years later I would find myself living 7 miles west of Marietta, Minnesota and would soon learn the geographical locations of villages and towns that could have been part of the wild west.
By the time I arrived, Marietta was a quiet little village with very little commerce. Not always so, according to local historians (AKA relatives).
Circa 1967:
- Why Go Restaurant: (Kids hangout)
- Hardware store
- Millie’s Popcorn Stand
- Johnson’s Chuckwagon Cafe.
- Nelson’s Jewelry Store
- Maas Recreation Hall
- Carl Raetz Marietta Produce
- Forest Ward Standard Oil
- Dahle’s Value Mart
- Bank
- Orpheum movie theater
- Red Owl Grocery Store
- Elevator
- Coop station
- Telephone Office
- Silvernale’s Drug Store & soda Fountain
- Don Russell’s Barber Shop
- Roth’s Cafe
- Post office
- International dealer
- Bud’s Station
- Kanthak’s Auto Service
- Idle Hour: bar/pool hall
- Lily Mills Thread Store
- American Legion
- Les Hoium’s Butcher Shop
- Creamery
- Hotel
- A 2nd grocery store?
- Laundromat
- Pool Hall
- Red Owl Store
- Shackelfords Lumber Yard
- K-12 High School
- Three churches
Imagine my surprise as they reeled off such an extensive list of establishments that have been part of the history of Marietta, Minnesota during the years of love, peace and the Vietnam War ~ the1960’s.
What happened?
The talented Charlie Roth featured Marietta, Minnesota in his music video, Broken Ground, and tells the story well.
Can this town be saved? Technology and the work ethics of its people may be the ticket to help this town and other typical rural communities. Living in a slower paced, small town or rural location may be a lifestyle dream someday for those tired of the traffic and rush that urban living requires.
As Mr. Rogers said so well: Won’t you be my neighbor?

I like that your post is trying to persuade people to consider these little towns as a possible place to relocate. I keep telling folks that you can pick up a fine house dirt cheap out there if you can think of some way to make a living and having and internet based business can totally be that ticket.

My Great Grandparents were from there (Edward & Martha Hoium), and many family members are from there and still live there today. Just thinking of Marietta warms my heart. Many a family member went to school there and my dad graduated from there. I went to school there several years there before it closed. I remember the year the school was going to close (we were all dreading it)… The day before the final school annual was to be mailed for printing a storm hit and lightening hit the bell tower burning down a portion of the school… and the annual with it. Many good memories of Marietta. Playing at the park, getting treats at the grocery store and restaurant or the gas station, a great basketball team, football games, parades, etc……. many memories…. never forgotten.

I attended Grades 1 – 3 from 1965-1968 when my father was the Superintendant. My class was the Class of 77 and included John Gearman, Robin Ruth, Allen Longhenry, Dawn Willis, Rebecca Young, Nancy Oinim?, Tom Stava, Loren ???, Maria??? and others I whose name I can no longer recall, I think Mrs Nelson was First Grade, Mrs Redipenning? Second Grade, but can’t remember the Third Grade teacher. I vividly remember Ruth and Irvie Dahle and just had a good visit with the former secretary at the school, Marion Goetsch. Excuse me if I misspelled many of the names.
The popcorn stand was open once a week IIRC and I attended a number of movies at the theatre. I was sad to see the school was gone due to a fire and many of the houses are now gone. It has probably been a couple years since I was last there and it was sad to see Bemis Implement falling down into a heap. At least our house is still there across the street from the American Legion (which was a spooky abandoned house when we lived there)

Boy, this blog really opened the memory floodgates for me. Thanks for doing this project. I grew up in Marietta and remember 1967 well. My folks, Herb & May Gieseke, owned the Y-GO Café and Marietta Laundry (notice correct spelling of Y-GO). They always said, Y-GO to Madison when you can eat here in Marietta. The perpetual special was the “Y-GO” which was a hamburger and french fries for 50 cents. We lived in the same building as these two businesses, in the ‘back room.’ In fact my dad died there in 1967. It was the beginning of my senior year at MHS, my sister Betty was beginning her sophomore year. Our buildings were located exactly where the Marietta State Bank is now located.
Other business in town that I remember: right to the west of us was Mead’s Dairy Home Delivery. There were two over the road trucking companies in Marietta. Curtiss “Beeky” Johnson and Vern Putzier. Vern’s wife operated Vi’s Beauty Shop out of the west end of their home for many years. Others were East Side Lumber, R.F. Clark & Co. did road construction and maintenance. Builders and carpenters were the Dahle Construction Co., Byron Redepenning and Slim Bohnsack. Herman Frantz Plumbing was operated out of the back of the Hardware Hank store. There were several blacksmithing/welding/repair shops in town. Fred Fuoss Monument Sales and Cemetery Services. Paul Cushman did local grain hauling. Leon Bresson delivered coal to people who still used coal fired furnaces and he did custom on the farm butchering.
Some of the ladies in town were also business people. Martha Hoium and others were involved in Avon, Tupperware and other party plan type of sales. Mildred Harstad did domestic work all over Marietta.
There were several newspaper delivery services. Daily papers delivered in town at that time were the Minneapolis Morning Tribune, Minneapolis Evening Star & the Watertown Public Opinion. There was also a Minneapolis Tribune Sunday Paper motor route operated out of Marietta and The Grit was delivered door-to-door.
I see a question mark after A 2nd Grocery Store? The 2nd store was Hoium’s Meat Market in 1967. They had a full line of groceries. The Fairway Foods
Store and Ransom’s Market were both closed a few years earlier. I don’t remember a Hotel though. There was a Masonic Lodge Meeting place on the second floor of the Baker Block.
There were a lot of businesses in Marietta at that time. There was always something to do there. For the town boys, there was always plenty of low talent and no talent farm work in the area, such as weeding soybeans, helping with hay/straw baling, shelling corn, picking rock and pitching manure.
Just a closing remark. Great musical video by Mr. Roth. I worked in that elevator building that he used as a background during high school and at the Orpheum Theatre also. I think it was cool that Mr. Roth included the old footages and some footage of Nassau in his musical video also.
Thanks for letting me remember.

Sure been fun to read this and loved the views of Marietta. We lived on a farm right next to the SD border, north of Stateline Station until 1950. Then we moved to town and Dad had Marv’s Standard gas station at the corner of 40 and the road to Nassau until he passed in 1964. We lived next door until we moved to the former Gjerde house a block away around 1959. My Mom was a telephone operator back when they plugged into the board at the little office across from Vi’s Beauty Shop and then moved on to work at the bank for many years. Anyone remember phones on party lines? I live in Florida now and my brother, Dallas, in Arkansas. Sister Marilyn and husband Wayne are in Sauk Centre. We all went to Marietta Public grades 1-12 and have so many great memories. Remember the sign behind the coffee bar at Margraff’s? “kwitcherbellyakin”. My brother said a shower could be had for a dime. I didn’t know anyone who had indoor plumbing. Of course, outhouses were a target at Halloween. Mr. Margraff would pour the coffee and say, “Careful! It’s a snooty burner!” The men would pour the coffee into the saucer so it would cool. There was a real nice dining room beyond the coffee bar. Across the street was Ranson’s department store where the men played cards in the back. In later years, it was the Red Owl. Meidel’s (sp) meat market was close to the old bank. Butch Meidel had an old dog that laid around in the store. Dallas worked there during high school and was on the volunteer fire department. He was supposed to bring home meat for supper one evening. They wrapped it in white paper tied with a string back then. He threw it off the fire truck as they drove by our place. We all lived by the whistle on the water tower. It blew at lunch, supper and 10 PM as I recall. Mr. Raetz let me watch him candle eggs and there was a shoe repair place in the building that was converted into the laundromat. I still remember the scent of the dairy west of the bank. Mr. Silvernail was the only person I every knew who could break a popsicle in half perfectly every time. Can’t forget the barbershop and the hardware store. It was so much fun to look around in there. They seemed to have everything you could ever want. Also, the old post office. Remember the warming house at the ice rink and we were actually trusted to take care of the woodburning stove. We sure were fortunate to grow up in Marietta during its heyday.
