Introduction to Connections
Sir Walter Scott's novel, Ivanhoe, was published in 1820. The historical fiction novel is set in 12th century England. The novel follows the course of many characters including the knight, Wilfred of Ivanhoe, whom the story is named after. The inspiration for the name of the small town in Southwest Minnesota, and for some of the names of the town's streets came from Scott's novel. This Wiki will show these connections and some other fun tidbits about how residents continue to show pride for their "Storybook Town".
