The Swan Lake Pavilion

The Swan Lake Pavilion on the A. H. Hermel farm in Granby Township in Nicollet County was a popular place for dancing, wedding receptions and for Saturday night enjoyment from 1920 until it was demolished in 1935.

See the plat map at the top of the page highlighted with the purple rectangle for location of the Swan Lake Pavilion.

Located just North from the County Poor Farm on County Road 3 which is now County Road 4, near the "Old Fort Road" now County Road 5, had many well known bands perform there. . .Lawrence Welk and his band (in his early years) "The Biggest Little Band in America" stopped and performed here three times in this time period.
