The Horse Trough


New York actress Minnie Maddern Fiske campaigned to improve the lives of workhorses and donated more than 100 troughs across the U.S. in the early 1900s. Grand Forks’ 5-ton granite trough was first placed downtown near the original, 1879 Grand Forks County Courthouse. When cars outnumbered horses, our trough was moved out of the way to Sweet Clover Creamery, by the river. Later Ed Bohnhoff, a Central High School coach and radio personality, led the charge to relocate the trough to its Gateway site.
