SUMMARY:History Break: Muus vs. Muus
DESCRIPTION:The Goodhue County Spectacle: The Muus vs. Muus Case that Made International Headlines \n \n\nJoin the translator and editor of Muus vs. Muus for a deep dive into the sensational 1880s divorce case that started in a local courthouse and became an international sensation. When Oline Muus filed her first lawsuit against her powerful husband in 1879\, the private conflict of a marriage instantly became a public spectacle. Her husband\, B.J. Muus\, was not only the founder of St. Olaf College but also a prominent leader of the Norwegian Synod. Drawing from Goodhue County records\, local newspaper coverage\, and original court documents\, this talk will examine how the case exposed the complex tensions within Norwegian-American immigrant life. We will explore the central struggle for women’s rights\, the unyielding role of religion\, and the cultural clash between a prominent couple that demanded attention on both sides of the Atlantic. \n  \n \n  \n  \nAbout the Speaker: Kari Lie Dorer is the King Olav V Chair in Scandinavian-American Studies\, the Norwegian Department Chair\, and Program Director of Nordic Studies at St. Olaf College in Northfield\, MN.

SUMMARY:GCHS Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Calling all bookworms! In 2026\, the United States will celebrate its 250th birthday! Join GCHS for a quarterly book club that reflects on 250 years of history and storytelling\, and sparks conversations about the nation’s future. Each meeting will focus on a different book! Our first book will be What Unites Us: Reflections on Patriotism by Dan Rather and Elliot Kirschner. This event is free\, and participants are asked to provide their own copy of the book. Light refreshments will be served. Please RSVP to Bethany via phone or email (education@goodhistory.org) to ensure we have enough snacks. Thanks! \n \nSynopsis: “At a moment of crisis over our national identity\, venerated journalist Dan Rather has emerged as a voice of reason and integrity\, reflecting on—and writing passionately about—what it means to be an American. Now\, with this collection of original essays\, he reminds us of the principles upon which the United States was founded. Looking at the freedoms that define us\, from the vote to the press; the values that have transformed us\, from empathy to inclusion to service; the institutions that sustain us\, such as public education; and the traits that helped form our young country\, such as the audacity to take on daunting challenges in science and medicine\, Rather brings to bear his decades of experience on the frontlines of the world’s biggest stories. As a living witness to historical change\, he offers up an intimate view of history\, tracing where we have been in order to help us chart a way forward and heal our bitter divisions. With a fundamental sense of hope\, What Unites Us is the book to inspire conversation and listening\, and to remind us all how we are\, finally\, one.”
