TO THE EDITOR: I was raised in Pipestone, then moved to the Minneapolis area in the 1980’s. I currently reside there and return to Pipestone to visit family. While living in Minneapolis I have had the honor and privilege to get to know many immigrant families, both from living in my neighborhood and while working in the school district.

Protect vitality of community

Pipestone County Star ·

2026/03/12

TO THE EDITOR: As a downtown business owner in Pipestone, Minn., I support the concerns raised about paving CSAH 25. Main street businesses depend on people traveling through Pipestone. A paved road that could easily function as a bypass risks sending traffic around our town instead of into it. That is the last thing our small businesses need. Visitors often discover our shops, restaurants, and historic downtown simply because they pass through. When traffic disappears, so do opportunities fo...

Happy sesquicentennial!

Pipestone County Star ·

2026/03/12

A while back I heard Pipestone Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Erica Volkir mention to the Pipestone City Council that 2026 was the city of Pipestone’s 150th anniversary. For those who like complicated words, that’s the sesquicentennial. That certainly seemed like a noteworthy milestone, so I cracked open the old Pipestone County History book to do some research. There I found that the village of Pipestone was incorporated on Feb. 10, 1881. That date also came up as I was looking ...

JACKSON — For the second straight time, a slow start doomed Pipestone Area Schools in a clash with St. James Area.

Despite more than 27 minutes remaining in the game, the deficit was too deep, and the Arrows suffered a 72-56 loss to the Saints in the Section 3AA South subsection semifinals. “Unfortunately, we had the worst start possible,” PAS he...
