The Stagecoach was an actual stop between Shakopee and Savage. During 1951 Ozzie and Marie Klavestad bought it to display his gun collection and named it the Stagecoach Museum. Over the years it expanded to include the Stagecoach Restaurant, Stagecoach Opera House and the Sand Burr Gulch, a recreated old west street complete with blacksmith, barber shop, saloon, and animated cowboy puppets that acted out jerky wild west scenes for the general public. The Klavestads sold the Stagecoach in 1981 and the place fell into ruin. With the widening of Highway 101 most of it was demolished in 1996. The Lavetta's original Stagecoach building still stands as Dahlen Signs, 901 Stagecoach Road, Shakopee Minnesota.
