Variation of the Great Seal of Minnesota that replaces the Native American horseman with a settler on horseback. This version of the seal was authorized by the Secretary of State in 1971 but never used on official documents. It nevertheless appeared in some official settings.
G. O. Miller’s store in Vasa, the settler-colonist enclave founded by Swedish immigrants to Goodhue County, is the building to the left. Photograph ca. 1880s.
