Hiawatha Golf Course History
Property Owners


The first owners of the Hiawatha Golf Course property were the Native Americans of this area. After being taken over by the United States government, the property was sold to migrants who came into the area.

In 1884, these were the owners of the northern and west sides of Rice Lake (now Lake Hiawatha).
