Loretta Berning shared this photo of the Millside Tavern with the historical society many years ago. She thought it was from about 1940, but it could be from a few years later. Loretta's husband, Everett Berning, started selling beer out of a cooler to mill workers in the mid 1930s. In 1938 he moved an old blacksmith shop, previously used by the Berning family, to a spot near the bridge and remodeled it into the original tavern. Over the years this structure was remodeled and added onto. On the north end of the tavern there is currently a game room that was once used for parts and sales of Rupp snowmobiles and mini bikes, a side business that Everett got into in the late 1960s when the snowmobile craze started to take off in Minnesota. In addition to their famous burgers many will remember visiting the Millside Tavern for a cone of Brown's Velvet Ice Cream.
