Princess Owatonna

Gina, I and the kids had lunch at Mineral Springs Park. The kids were playing when we stumbled upon the Princess Owatonna Statue. The Legend says that Chief Wabena heard of the healing powers of the waters called minnewaucan. His daughter, Princess Owatonna, was sickly so he moved his tribe to the site of the natural springs on the banks of Maple Creek. Princess Owatonna drank from the springs daily and regained her health. Her kindly spirit hovers near the bubbling waters and beckons weary travelers to pause in the beautiful valley and drink from the magic waters. Cute little story of little Owatonna!!!
