History:  

PUPOSKY is a village in section 23 of Durand Township on Lake Puposky, an Ojibwe name recorded and translated by Beltrami signifying "the end of the shaking lands," that is, swamps whose surface is shaken and sinks when walked on. It has been also translated as Mud Lake, with Mud River outflowing from it. The village was founded in 1904 when the Minneapolis, Red Lake and Manitoba Railroad came; its post office began in 1905.

Lake Julia Tuberculosis Sanatorium

Lake Julia Sanatorium opened in 1916 in Puposky, Minnesota, a small community near Bemidji in the northern part of the state. Lake Julia's original capacity of 25 doubled to 50, and it served four counties: Beltrami, Hubbard, Itasca, and Koochiching. The Sanatorium became Lake Julia Rest Home in 1954, which closed in 1968.

Set in the midst of 160 acres of mixed forest in northern Minnesota’s lake country the Belle Thalia Residency offers a yurt dwelling , limited studio space , and outdoor clearings for work. The studio of sculptor Al Belleveau uses many salvaged materials which suggest a certain lifestyle that is independent, sustainable and closely connected to the landscape. Because of Al B.’s profound connection to the surrounding environment , the hope is that the residency program will foster work inspired by the site.

WildFlower Farm is a humble little farm in Puposky, Minnesota. Its home to our family and a variety of barn yard animals. This is where I traded my chef hat for a straw hat and began to farm. After years of a career as a professional pastry chef and bakery owner it was time for a change of pace. My love for baking lead me to a love of good food and grains.
