The Henning Landmark Center is working with a group of local volunteers and the Otter Tail County Historical Society to produce a Henning History Book. We need your help to gather stories and photos from the past. Please contact Dan at the Landmark Center if you have stories to share. Photos may be scanned so originals can be returned to you. Please add to this collection and help us tell the history of this community and the people that have called it home.
