Paul Bunyan Land — a land of history and memories - Brainerd Dispatch MN
When children walk through the entrance gates at Paul Bunyan Land and see the 26-foot high statue of Paul — who has a boot size of 80 and a belt size that is 12 1/2 feet long, with a 500-pound ax — they are already giddy and full of excitement.
But when Paul opens his mouth and says, Hello, Bobbie or Hi, Suzy, the expression on the child's face is priceless. This memory is one that the child and the parents or grandparents will treasure forever. It's a magical moment.
The owners of This Old Farm Pioneer Village and Paul Bunyan Land, located six miles east of Brainerd on Highway 18, cherished these memories that were instilled in them when they were little.
Owners Lois Smude and Alan Rademacher, who are siblings, remember going to Paul Bunyan Land as kids with their parents, Dick and Marian Rademacher, when the park was located at the Highway 210-371 junction in Baxter. The two never thought they'd own the famous Paul Bunyan Land, home to Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox.
They purchased Paul eight years ago with no intention of buying the amusement park. When Don McFarland put Paul Bunyan Land up for sale, Rademacher approached McFarland wanting to purchase the log house only to use as a showcase in his father's This Old Farm Pioneer Village, an antique farm equipment museum that has been in existence for 33 years.
It snowballed from there, said Rademacher. By the time I walked out of there I had purchased the whole park.

Paul Bunyan is a giant lumberjack in American folklore. His exploits revolve around the tall tales of his superhuman labors, and he is customarily accompanied by Babe the Blue Ox. The character originated in the oral tradition of North American loggers, and was later popularized by freelance writer William B. Laughead in a 1916 promotional pamphlet for the Red River Lumber Company. He has been the subject of various literary compositions, musical pieces, commercial works, and theatrical productions. His likeness is displayed in several statues across North America.
There are many hypotheses about the etymology of the name Paul Bunyan. Much of the commentary focuses on a Franco-Canadian origin for the name. Phonetically Bunyan is similar to the Québécois expression bon yenne! expressing surprise or astonishment. The English surname Bunyan derives from the same root as bunion in the Old French bugne, referring to a large lump or swelling. Several researchers have attempted to trace Paul Bunyan to the character of Bon Jean or Tit Jean of French Canadian folklore.
According to Michael Edmonds in his book, Out of the Northwoods: The Many Lives of Paul Bunyan, Paul Bunyan stories circulated for at least thirty years before finding their way into print. In contrast to the lengthy narratives abundant in published material, Paul Bunyan stories when told in the lumbercamp bunkhouses were presented in short fragments. Some of these stories include motifs from older folktales, such as absurdly severe weather and fearsome critters. Parallels in early printings support the view that at least a handful of Bunyan stories hold a common origin in folklore. The earliest recorded reference of Paul Bunyan is an uncredited 1904 editorial in the Duluth News Tribune which recounts:
