• Seth Cedarholm: Marine through his lens (hometownsource.com) — Residents around Stillwater and Marine on St. Croix get a rich look at photographer Seth Cedarholm, whose portraits, school photos, and lumber camp images helped document Washington County's early days. Working from Marine Mills, Stillwater, and beyond, he captured everyday life more than a century ago. His legacy still shapes how locals see their shared river-town history.
