Wasioja, Minnesota, honors its Civil War roots with a ribbon-cutting for a restored seminary—once home to some of the nation’s first Union volunteers. Founded in 1858, this historic site saw students march just blocks away to enlist in 1861, forming Company C of the Second Minnesota Volunteer Infantry. Though ravaged by fire in 1905, the building now stands preserved with iron beams holding its limestone frame. Nearby, Minnesota’s last surviving Civil War recruiting station—once a law office—adds to the town’s rare, intact wartime legacy. Former State Senator Dave Senjem spearheaded the $2 million restoration, ensuring the sacrifices of those 68 young men, 22 of whom died, are remembered for generations.
