Strum is located on the
Buffalo River, properly called the "Beef". Modern
day cartographers have changed the name from the French "Bouef"
(meaning Buffalo and pronounced "Beef") to its present
name. It was settled in the mid 1800's as a trading post and
the area was attractive to Norwegian immigrants because of the
rolling hills and valleys which closely resembled that of Southern
Norway. Strum became an official village in 1948.
Baseball and softball parks,
volleyball and tennis courts, golfing, playground equipment for the
children and picnic facilities abound. Winter sports include
ice skating, hunting, ice fishing, snowmobiling and cross country
skiing. |
|
Strum is a valley of parks -
roughly 400 acres of park
land - most of the parks are
equipped with shelters and
picnic tables. |
|
|
 
Crystal Lake is the greatest
recreational resource. Though motor
boats are barred, sail boats,
rowboats, and canoes are acceptable.
Many active service clubs concern
themselves with civic and
humanitarian projects. The pride of
the village is its beautiful 9 hole
golf course and the Crystal Lake
Campground, 42 sites equipped with
showers, electricity, water, cable
and sewer.
