Two signs from the Harkin Store, a 1870's general store that closed up with all its inventory intact. Now a museum. The town of West Newton was made obselete by the railroad when trains took all the riverboat freight traffic away. Then a horde of grasshoppers came and stayed for FIVE YEARS. They ate all the crops and everyone went broke.

The grasshopper sign is totally gameable. Just make them giant grasshoppers.

The LIBERAL sign shows the beginnings of the Farmer & Labor party of Minnesota, later to combine with the state Democratic party to become the Democratic Farmer Labor party.

So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
