Tom Hough Collection

In addition to overseeing the production of the daily newspaper, Hough wrote a popular outdoor column called “’Headin Out’ with Tom Hough,” which ran every Friday. Hough chronicled his adventures exploring the state both in print and with his own photographs, which featured prominently in his column and in other sections of the Star-Tribune. Always ready for a challenge, Hough scaled the Grand Tetons and climbed Devil’s Tower three times, taking photos during ascent and descent. Mountain climbing, hunting, fishing, and many other outdoor adventures featured prominently in ‘Headin’ Out.’ Hough also included anecdotes from his personal life in his column, including stories about his large extended family and his young children.
