NERSTRAND, a city in Wheeling Township, settled in 1855, platted in 1885 by Osmund Osmundson, and incorporated January 30, 1897, bears the name of an earlier post office, which was named by Osmundson for his former home in Norway. Osmundson was born in Norway in 1826, came to the United States in 1850 and to Nerstrand in 1856, served as a county commissioner and in the legislature, 1872-73, and died in 1914. The post office began in 1877, with Augen H. Brokke as postmaster in his store.

Phone: (507) 333-4840

Enjoy this park on foot, any season of the year. In the spring, the park is a wildflower garden where hepatica, bloodroot, Dutchman's breeches, and the dwarf trout lily bloom. The dwarf trout lily is only found here. Relax by Hidden Falls in the summer. The autumn brings a burst of red, orange, and gold in the maple-basswood forest, one of the last extensive stands of the "Big Woods." When winter comes, ski or snowmobile the trails through picturesque woods.
