History[edit]

Wild Rice Bar & Grill

Wild Rice was platted in 1884 when the railroad was extended to that point.[3] A post office called Wild Rice was established in 1884, and remained in operation until 1970.[4] The community was originally built up chiefly by French Canadians.[5]

St Benedict Catholic Church[edit]

The present St. Benedict's Church was constructed in 1913. St. Benedict’s Cemetery has been the final resting place for Catholics since the 1880s with over 600 people interred.[6]
