In 1910, the men of Brainerd’s machine shop stood proudly in this very building, a symbol of strength and progress. Over a century later, their legacy lives on within the walls of Two South, where preserved train tracks and towering steel pillars now serve as the backdrop for weddings and events. From hardworking hands to celebrations, this space continues to honors its past while embracing the beauty of the present.
