MOORHEAD, Minn. -- Moorhead is a city known for a Viking ship, a Norwegian church, and a famous, frozen treat.

"One of my earliest memories of childhood is going to Dairy Queen about 60 years ago, and eating a Dilly Bar," said Margaret Grigorenko, visiting from Ohio.

There's no better place to have one than at the corner of 8th and Main. Seventy-four years ago, the Dairy Queen at that location opened its doors. Troy Deleon is only the second owner in the restaurant's history. Because it's been around for so long, it's no ordinary DQ.
