Border Marker (Manitoba/Minnesota)

Border MarkerPhotos by WBaron


Noyes Customs and Border Patrol station as it was, shortly before it was closed, looking south. This is where I swore my loyalty to the United States at age 16, when I officially became a naturalized citizen - all so I could get my Social Security Number, and get my first real job (and because I was born in Canada, although to American parents...)

    This is also where my dad worked for 20 years, splitting between the Noyes and Pembina Customs offices.

    Where exactly is the marker in the first picture above located? I am interested in exploring to see that.
