Triple Twin Lake

Episode 45:The Tale of Twin Lake! On this episode of Robbinsdale Revisited, we dive into the colorful history of one of the community’s most iconic landmarks—from Andrew B. Robbins’s magnificent lakeside mansion to the Trump family (No! They are not related!), who became a fixture of Robbinsdale for nearly sixty years. We’ll visit Trump’s Landing, hear the astonishing story of the Trumps defending the Robbinsdale bank from safe-crackers, and explore tales of a giant fish, a would-be island “discoverer,” and the grand parkway vision of Theodore Wirth. And we’ll end with Twin Lake Beach in its heyday, and the remarkable 1950 civil-rights case that made Minnesota history right on its sandy shores.
