Notes About Existing Stations... Austin (CM&St.P) - State License Bureau. Dexter (CM&St.P) - This has supposedly been heavily modified and does not look like a station any more. Does anyone know for sure if this was the station? Oakland (CM&St.P) - Moved to the fairgrounds in 1964 from Freeborn County. |
