The Mississippi Courts and the Communities Surrounding Them 1949-2009

If you’ve biked or walked amidst the prairie restoration fields, the banks of the Mighty Mississippi or listened to the shimmering cottonwoods at the North Mississippi Regional Park, you may have heard distant echoes of the over 100 families that used to live at the Mississippi Courts. The Mississippi Courts was a small community of twenty-five quad homes in the Lind-Bohanon neighborhood of Camden along the Mississippi River from 1949-1986.

Over the past few years, Mississippi Courts Historical Society historians have been working to collect first hand stories, mementos, and photographs of the “neighbors” from our community along the Mississippi River.  We have compiled this unique book filled with over 300 pages of wonderful stories, maps and photographs that are a rich resource unraveling the history of the Mississippi Courts, life at the “Courts” and the local Camden community.

This important book includes over one hundred pages chronicling stories of the Mississippi Courts, how they came to exist, who and what it was like to live there, and how it came to an end. It also includes many stories about the local area including: The Workhouse, Hopewell Hospital, Camden Bank, Camden Bridge, Galeno’s grocery store, the Canoe Derby and many more! This one of a kind book captures for the first time memories of the many families that lived in the Mississippi Courts and what it was like living in the Camden community of Minneapolis, MN from 1949-2009.
