THE ST. CROIX RIVER

Andersen’s history is not just about doing things right and delivering unparalleled quality windows, but it is very specific to place.

Hans Andersen put his stake down on the bank of the St. Croix River just downstream from Stillwater, MN. Initially, it was the best transportation route for getting logs to the mill, but over time, the river became a symbol for the sustainable mission of Andersen. As part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968, the St. Croix River was selected and listed as a Wild and Scenic River.

Since that time, Andersen has been a major supporter of the preservation efforts of the river.
