The Brickyard Ruins - Fertile, Minnesota

I happened upon the brickyard ruins at Fertile, Minnesota, after attending the 2010 Polk County Minnesota Fair. The brickyard had been abandoned for a number of years, but there were still a few traces left. See what I found in 2010, and also what was left in 2022. Some history of the Fertile area is included along with several old town and brickyard views. The scenery in the area is very beautiful; definitely worth experiencing. If you have never been to the Polk County Minnesota Fair, I highly recommend it!

Wonderful story!
I remember when they closed and soon demolished the beehive kilns southeast of Canton, Ohio in the late 1980s. They were off USR 30.

Liked the way you used the aereal photo with arrow and then ground photo. Brick yards were such an important part of history. Thank you for your effort.

I've driven through the town many times in the past and had no idea a brickworks had ever existed there. Thank you for sharing these fascinating tidbits of Minnesota history with us all!

Very interesting, thanks for sharing your work! Did you go to the recent brick swap in Minnesota? I wanted to but couldn't.

I make videos of abandoned places in Minnesota and think your channel is pretty cool.
