Dalton is a small community surrounded by lakes and the beauty of nature. Dalton is known for the annual Threshing Reunion held the first weekend after Labor Day. Wanting to share the colorful history of farming with younger generations, St. Olaf Township brothers George and Ralph Melby and their nephew Kenneth Bratvold organized the first threshermen’s reunion in October 1954. Since then, the Lake Region Pioneer Threshermen’s Association has sponsored a show each September, featuring vintage tractors, threshing machines and exhibits. A number of antique buildings have been reproduced or relocated to the site to create a small historical village.
