• John M. Kuhn: Photographer of the St. Croix River Valley (hometownsource.com) — Stillwater's long tradition of photography is traced through 19th-century photographer John M. Kuhn, who ran a prominent Main Street studio and even photographed the Younger Brothers at Stillwater Prison. The story follows how Kuhn and his brother Louis documented the town's evolution for more than 60 years, capturing Stillwater's shift from lumber hub to tourist destination.
