about our city...
Thief River Falls is the place to be! Not only is it
the birthplace of the Arctic Cat snowmobile and
one of the top birding and wildlife areas in the
country, it’s a great place for families, too! You
just can’t beat our parks, attractions, schools and
friendly people—so come visit us!
Thief River Falls first developed as a lumber
milling town. It also became a major agricultural
service area because of the rich soil left by
ancient, glacial Lake Agassiz.
The unusual name, “Thief River,” was given
to the river by the Ojibwe and Dakota people.
“Falls” was added to the name of the new city in
1896 because a series of rapids in the river had
been converted to a waterfall by the construction
of the dam. Until 1904, an Ojibwe village of 40
families was located where the Thief and Red
Lake Rivers meet.
The Great Northern and the Soo Line Railroads
brought prosperity when Thief River Falls
became a center for shipping wheat. Today,
the city continues its entrepreneurial spirit,
preserving and respecting the past, yet growing
and moving toward the future, especially in the
manufacturing and distribution industries, both
nationally and internationally.
Located 300 miles NW of the
Twin Cities on trunk highways
59, 32 and 1, Thief River Falls is
at the junction of the Red Lake
and Thief Rivers. Distance to:
Minneapolis/St. Paul 296 miles;
Chicago, IL 650 miles; Sioux
Falls, SD 300 miles; Grand Forks,
ND 55 miles; Denver, CO 900
miles; Winnipeg, Manitoba
Canada 159 miles.
Thief River Falls has great

Events
1) What’s your connection to Thief River Falls?
When I was ten, my family moved here from
Idaho so my dad could take an engineering
position at Arctic Cat. With racing, I don’t
spend much time in one place but find myself
in TRF a lot. With family in the area and the
Arctic Cat snowmobile factory right in town, I
never get too far away!
2) How did you get into racing?
My dad raced, so naturally I wanted to follow
in his footsteps. I did my first race when I was
eight and turned pro at 16. 3) What are your top racing accomplishments?
I have 12 X Games medals, eight national
Snocross championships and two world titles.
Tucker Hibbert, 7-Time X Games
Snocross Champion
4) When you’re in Thief River Falls,
what do you like to do for fun?
Thief River Falls has a lot to offer for outdoor
enthusiasts like myself. In the winter, I spend
the majority of my time on my snowmobile.
Between the river and the trail system
surrounding TRF, there are great options
for riding. My favorite summertime activity
is mountain biking. I just discovered the
Greenwood hiking/biking trails and plan to
spend more time there when I’m in town.
5) What’s coming up next?
More racing!

JULY 22-26, 2015
The Pennington County Historical
Society, which was organized in the
1930s, is responsible for maintaining
the Peder Engelstad Pioneer Village.
Officially opened in 1976, the
museum and village provide a living
history of Thief River Falls. Since its
early years as a rural community hub,
Thief River Falls has grown and
prospered to become an important
regional economic hub.
Peder Engelstad Pioneer Village,
named after a local Norwegian
immigrant, consists of 19 buildings
with over 25,000 individual items on display. Buildings include seven late-1800s log
houses; a Swedish Lutheran church, built in 1916; two railroad building depots and
two cabooses; a one-room schoolhouse dating back to 1908; five original stores
(including a blacksmith shop, general store, and beauty and barber shops); a restored
two-story home; a large farm and auto machinery building; and a museum.
The museum and buildings are open to the public Memorial Day through Labor Day
with guided tours available. Check out the Events Calendar (beginning on page 10) for
a schedule of special activities at the village.
In 2012, the
mayor of Thief
River Falls issued
a proclamation
declaring the
week of May
17th to be
Norwegian
Heritage Week
in recognition
of the city’s
distinction
as the “most
Norwegian city
in America.”
According
to the U.S.
Census Bureau,
almost 50% of city residents are of
Norwegian ancestry.

The Historic Soo Line Railroad Depot, located on U.S.

of Historic Places. From completion of construction in
1914 until 1967, when passenger train service was
terminated, the Depot was a hub of community activity
almost 24 hours a day. At the height of its use, the Depot
saw 13 passenger trains arrive and depart each day.
Following a successful “Save the Depot” fundraising
campaign in 1994-95, the City decided to renovate and
remodel the building for use as City Hall. The completed
project retained most of the building’s significant interior
features, including the terrazzo floor and wood trim
and doors in the main passenger terminal area. Steam
Locomotive No. 1024, a Soo Class L-4, 2-8-2 MIKADO, is
on permanent display outside the Depot.

Attention bird lovers! The Thief River Falls
area is included in Minnesota’s FIRST and
North America’s SECOND birding trail, a
223-mile route from Fergus Falls to the
shores of Lake of the Woods. With 45
separate sites and side trips along the way,
bird watchers and lovers of wildlife will
find this a virtual paradise!
Situated at the juncture
of 3 major ecosystems—
tall-grass prairie,
boreal forests and
aspen parkland—this
Northwestern Minnesota
trail provides a unique
collection of habitats
which provide homes
for a tremendous
variety of birds. Agassiz
National Wildlife Refuge, the largest wildlife refuge in the state
of Minnesota, is an incredible birding treasure, located just a short
drive from Thief River Falls. The Refuge is a haven for as many
as 280 species of birds. Look for a complete birding checklist and
Pine to Prairie booklet at the Thief River Falls Convention and
Visitors Bureau.
Arctic Cat ATVs
The Red
Lake River,
in the Thief
River Falls
area, offers
excellent
fishing.
Whether
you’re in
waders, a
float tube,
canoe or just fishing from the bank, the opportunity for walleyes,
northern pike, small mouth bass, crappies and a host of other
species is great!
Accessing the river is not a problem with two boat landings
within the city limits. You can also get to the river through two
city parks and below the dam.
There is a fall run of walleyes in the Red Lake River. Walleyes
will move upriver and hold below the dam in October—a jig and
minnow are all it takes. With parking lots on both sides of the
river and a walkway on the east side, fishing access is easy.
Hunt in the morning, fish the Red Lake River in the afternoon.
Visitors to the Thief River Falls area can have the best of both
worlds!

SNOWMOBILING THE
NORTHWOODS OF MN
Thief River Falls has access to more than 500 miles of
groomed trails that interconnect to over 1,500 miles
of trails in northwest Minnesota. Thief River Falls is a
snowmobile hub for northwest Minnesota with five
different trails leading out of the city. Snowmobilers can
choose from countless daily loop rides ranging from
50-200 miles. Snowmobiling was born in this part of
Minnesota and the many food and fuel stops along the
trails welcome all riders, whatever their brand.
Trails to the west connect with the North Dakota trail
system at the communities of Oslo and Hallock. Trails to
the north connect to the community of Roseau and from
there to the Canadian border and east to the Warroad
and Baudette trail systems. To the south, riders take trails
that connect with Bemidji and Detroit Lakes. Each trail is
unique in offering a variety of terrain including river riding
and picturesque wilderness trails.
Arctic Cat snowmobiles have been manufactured in
Thief River Falls for over 50 years. The Arctic Cat plant
is listed as having one of the top 250 plant tours in the
nation in the book entitled “Watch It Made In The USA: A
Visitors Guide To The Companies That Make Your Favorite
Products.” Plant tours are free of charge and offered
weekdays at 1 p.m. (See Tours on page 25).
For trail maps and weekly snowmobile trail reports
contact the Thief River Falls Convention and Visitors
Bureau, located at 102 Main Ave. N., Thief River Falls, MN

The Jefferson Highway was
the first transcontinental road
to traverse the North American
continent from north to
south, and it was possibly the
first dedicated international
highway in the world!
Moving
Named for President Thomas
Jefferson, who acquired
the highway land when he
negotiated the Louisiana
Purchase, the old Highway
passed through Thief River
Falls just west of the current Digi-Key site on Barzen
Avenue. Today look for the designation signs!
Stretching from Winnipeg, Canada to New Orleans, the
Highway only existed as a named highway for a short period
of time until the new standardized numbering system was
instigated in the 1920s. It was also occasionally referred
to as the Palm to Pine Highway by motorcades traveling
to and from the sunny South to the great Northwoods.
