SUMMARY:Find Our Fairy House!
DESCRIPTION:Magic is returning to Red Wing this summer and GCHS is joining in on the fun! Take a look around downtown and see if you can spot our fairy house… or school. \n  \nFairies going to school in Red Wing are actually learning in a historic spot! Did you know that the first schoolhouse in Goodhue County opened in 1855 at 4th Street and East Avenue? Each one room schoolhouse across the county was considered its own district\, so this school was called “District 1.” At one point there were 169 school districts across Goodhue County! The last one to close was Welch Valley School in Vasa Township in 1970. Today there are 12 school districts in the county. \n \nWant to learn more? Come to the Goodhue County History Center and explore our rural schoolroom! \n \n  \nAnd check out the Red Wing Downtown Magic website for more information about this magical time of year and the 2025 Fairy Fest : https://magicmapredwing.my.canva.site/

SUMMARY:History Break: Stories of a Mississippi Riverboat Captain
DESCRIPTION:Born in St. Louis\, the home state of Sam Clemens\, T.S. Eliot\, and Tennessee Williams\, Lee Hendrix was enthralled by the Mississippi River at a young age. In 1972\, he boarded his first towboat as a deckhand\, slinging mops and lifting heavy rigging\, and by 1976 he achieved his first license. Over the course of his career\, Lee has worked as an educator\, led canoe trips and river-clean ups\, worked for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers\, and piloted riverboats along the Mississippi River and other rivers across the United States. Lee earned a First-Class Pilot License for 2\,300 miles of river during his time piloting the DELTA\, MISSISSIPPI and AMERICAN QUEEN. He also served as both Pilot and Captain of the MV MISSISSIPPI\, the largest river towboat in the world. Today\, Lee lives in Lake City and is considered a “riverlorian\,” having written several published stories and essays about the river. Join us for a History Break where he discusses his 51 years working along the Mississippi River and his book\, Peep Light: Stories of a Mississippi River Boat Captain. \n  \nBooks will be available to purchase after the event! \n                                               \n
