Happenings Around Excelsior: The First Hundred Years, 1853-1953
Ellen Wilson Meyer
1982
A local history focused on Excelsior's first century. It gives the south shore a closer view, following the community and its relationship to the lake rather than attempting to cover every part of Minnetonka.
A good companion to the larger lake histories when the question concerns Excelsior itself. Local details often make the difference between knowing a town's outline and understanding its character.
