Not everyone is the Lake Minnetonka history buff that I am, so check out this 3 minute abbreviated course in Lake Minnetonka history. Some of the photos I recognize in order of appearance include... (Please add/correct by e-mailing me)

• Wayzata Bay landing at the current location of Sunset's
• View from atop the hill in Wayzata where city hall now sits
• The original "Narrows" channel to upper lake.
• The 300' Belle of Minnetonka that once plied Minnetonka. 
• Painting of the Lafayette Club 
• 1:58 - Steambaot entering St Louis/Carson Bay taken from the St. Louis Hotel or Burton residence.
• A photo likely the Burton sandbagger (sailboat) Volante. You can still see this boat moored off of Greenwood.  
• The "new" Narrows channel and bridge.
• 2:58 is a photo of the Big Island amusement park.
• I'm actually in the photo at 3:09 about to pass Joel's A-Scow, which is only of interest to me.
