SUMMARY:Book Talk with Fred Johnson

All are invited to a Book Talk presentation at 2:00 PM\, followed by a book signing at 3:00 PM. Books will be available to purchase in the museum gift shop. \n  \nBook Synopsis: \nFor more than two-hundred years\, a community known as Red Wing has nestled beneath the monolithic Mississippi River landmark He Mni Can (La Grange\, Barn Bluff). From the dominion of the Dakota\, the French interlude\, and the onset of United States control\, there has been a village\, town\, or city on this remarkably beautiful parcel of land. \nThis is a book about Red Wing and the impact this community and its citizens have had in “Mni Sota Makoce” (land where the waters reflect the skies)\, and during territorial days and statehood. Using themes of historical importance and interest\, the narrative employs a series of documented mini histories. \n \nAbout the Author:  \nFrederick Johnson continues his efforts to illuminate the history of his native Red Wing through numerous books and magazine articles. He is a three-time winner of the American Association for State and Local History award; the most recent honor being for the highly praised Patriot Hearts: World War I Passion and Prejudice in a Minnesota County. His newest effort\, Making History in Minnesota: Red Wing and Its People Impact the State\, Volume 1\, is out now! \n

SUMMARY:History Break
DESCRIPTION:The November History Break will be centered on the history of the small communities between Red Wing and Zumbrota with a spotlight on Goodhue – the halfway point on the Duluth\, Red Wing and Southern Railroad. In Goodhue historian Margaret Hutcheson’s 1989 book\, Goodhue: The Story of a Railroad Town\, she included a subtitle – From Rowdyism to Respectability. Enough said. The rowdy were 600 itinerant railroad construction workers living in temporary camps and the respectable were the men and women who followed making Goodhue their home. The railroad was a lifeline both socially and economically. This was also true for Hay Creek\, Claybank and White Willow.\n\n \n\n\nImagine no Goodhue at all until 1889 and no Highway 58 until 1934. The railroad created the town and kept it viable with needed groceries\, hardware\, machinery and lumber transported in and commodities of grain\, flour\, cream\, clay and livestock shipped out. It also provided essential passenger service and mail delivery. This presentation will be a collaboration of Goodhue Area Historical Society (GAHS) volunteers with chairman David Betcher speaking for the group. The GAHS has a museum in Goodhue featuring the area’s agricultural heritage. The GAHS’s mission is to highlight the history of the village of Goodhue and the surrounding townships of Belle Creek\, Belvidere\, Hay Creek\, Featherstone and Goodhue.
