==Activities and attractions== ===LaBree Avenue=== Since the city's foundation in 1896, LaBree Avenue has been a cornerstone of community life. Many of the businesses that were born in Thief River Falls were started on LaBree. The city's Chamber of Commerce holds an annual "Crazy Dayz", which is a "bargain day" of sorts on LaBree. Also, each fall, the city closes the street and hosts the "Great American Block Party", during which vendors line the street and live music is performed. ===Thief River Golf Club=== Thief River Falls is home to an 18-hole golf course situated along the [[Thief River]] north of the city. ===Northwest Trap/Sporting Clays=== Three miles north, two miles west of town, the "Trap Club" provides Trap on Mondays and Thursdays, Sporting Clays, on Wednesdays, HS Trap on Tuesdays (during the MN HS season) and can also provide events for any organization. ===Snowmobiling=== The city is along several regional snowmobile trails reaching northern Minnesota, including the Wapiti Trail, which leads to [[Fourtown, Minnesota|Fourtown]] and [[Grygla, Minnesota|Grygla]]. Other trails lead to [[Greenbush, Minnesota|Greenbush]], [[Warren, Minnesota|Warren]], and [[Red Lake Falls, Minnesota|Red Lake Falls]], to name a few. ===River Walk=== The city's River Walk lines the rivers from one end of town to the other and connects several parks including the dam, Red Robe Park, and the Northland Woods. ===Peder Engelstad Pioneer Village=== The Pennington County Historical Society, which was organized in the 1930s, is responsible for maintaining the Peder Engelstad Pioneer Village. Officially opened in 1976, the museum and village provide a living history of Thief River Falls. Peder Engelstad Pioneer Village, named after a local Norwegian immigrant, consists of 19 buildings with over 25,000 individual items on display. Buildings include seven late 19th century log houses; a Swedish Lutheran church, built in 1916; two railroad building depots and two cabooses; a one-room schoolhouse dating back to 1908; five original stores (including a blacksmith shop, general store, and beauty and barber shops); a restored two-story home; a large farm and an auto machinery building; and a museum.<ref>[http://www.pvillage.org/village.shtml ''Peder Engelstad Pioneer Village'' (Pennington County Historical Society)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100723164454/http://www.pvillage.org/village.shtml |date=July 23, 2010}}</ref>
