Nearly 400 people from across the U.S. gathered at Gale Woods Farm in Minnetrista for a reunion of the Schmid family on Saturday June 16, 2018. The even was organized by Toni Schimd Stevenson, the great-great-granddaughter of Joseph Schmid, one of the shared ancestors of everyone in attendance. Joesph and Benedikt moved from Germany in 1855 and settled in a farm house near Lake Minnetonka. The house has been made a historical site and the ruins still stand today.
