Mazeppa, Minnesota

Mazeppa in its early years was a flour milling center and boasted 7 trains a day at its peak. The line was nicknamed the "Bug Line" due to the crooked nature of the line east of town. The mill during its best years produced 600 barrels of flour a day and had 80 employees. The mill was powered by a turbine from water held back by 26 foot tall wooden dam on the Zumbro River and formed the "Mill Pond" as seen in historical pictures. The mill had its ups and downs until it burned down on Feb 2, 1891, foul play was suspected. The last train left Mazeppa in 1952. Despite valiant efforts at growth and industry, Mazeppa has since moved into the 21st Century as a quiet, well kept farm & bedroom community.

The Mazeppa Public School was built in 1858 and further expanded on many times including a new High School completed in 1958. A fire on December 26, 1975, destroyed the historic elementary school. The newer adjoining high school and 1940s gymnasium were saved from the blaze by the heroic efforts of Mazeppa residents Keith Ramthun & Joseph Liffrig who managed to close the fire doors leading to the high school and gymnasium before the fire department arrived. The Mazeppa Public School system merged with the Zumbrota Public School system in fall of 1987 to create the Zumbrota-Mazeppa Public Schools represented by the mascot the "Cougars".
