History
[edit]Crown was founded in the late 19th century by primarily German immigrants as a farming community. Among the first residents in the area were families with the surnames of Grams, Whittlef (also spelled Wittlief and Wittlef), Stoeckel, Lemke, Hartfiel, and Hass. Frederick Wilhelm Grams (December 4, 1859 - May 5, 1918) was born in Friedentau, Germany. He immigrated to the USA and was one of the founders of Crown, Minnesota.
Crown had a creamery, three stores with bars, a blacksmith shop, a garage repair shop, and a German Lutheran Church and a Lutheran School. The Lemke family owned the community store from 1905 to 2005, when it was sold and renamed "Crown Gas and Goodies".
In 2008, a fire destroyed the County Line Bar and Grill, formerly Hierlinger’s general store, and the Farmers Cooperative Mercantile Company of West Stanford it reopened January 2013 at the same location. Crown now largely consists of the store, a bar, and Zion Lutheran Church and School one mile north of Crown.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
