History Many of the old homes of Stillwater reflect the legacy of the Lumbering Boom that brought the town into existence in the mid 1800’s. The floors, moldings and trims are taken from trees that were harvested and milled in this area. Most of the lumber that passed through this town continued down the river to build the great cities to the south. Schools Stillwater has long been known for its great schools. Even during years of budget cuts, the public schools have remained strong. The schools’ successes are in part due to the teaching staff that is so dedicated to the students. Along with the public schools, Stillwater offers several other options for education. Other schools in the area include Salem Lutheran, St. Croix Catholic and charter schools, New Heights and St. Croix Preparatory Academy. |
