Detour - Through The Fairy Door : A History

Just north of Minneapolis, Minnesota lies a well-kept wooden door at the base of a large tree.

Those passing by leave notes, sweets and various presents as offerings. 

For what - or rather, for who - is an interesting story. 

A tale of magic, tradition and culture that transcends living memory. 

Join us as we travel THROUGH THE FAIRY DOOR!
