Thank you for supporting RCHS at the 2025 Pathways Gala

Our gala was a home run!

Overlooking CHS Field and St. Paul’s historic Lowertown, guests arrived just as golden hour hit.

This year’s gala was one of the most beautiful and successful yet, and it is all thanks to those of you who support the Ramsey County Historical Society. We had over 100 guests join us in celebrating the work of RCHS and Gibbs Farm with good food, exciting auction pieces, and a riveting keynote address on the history of baseball in Ramsey County. As staff mingled with guests, it was apparent what a force for good this organization and community have become. Gibbs Farm director, Sammy Nelson, gave an address recounting some of the positive experiences school groups, families, and kids have had with the hands-on learning that the staff at the Farm provide for everyone, from field trips to camps to annual festivals.

It is because of the hard work and dedication of our staff and board that we have been able to make such a significant impact on Ramsey County and all the communities within it. We are passionate about connecting our history and community, and this evening helped fuel our dedication to that passion. A special thanks is due to the members of our gala committee, Stephanie Fastner, Debbie Lee, Alison Midden, and Megan Morrissey. We are grateful for their commitment to RCHS and the mission we stand for; preserving our past, informing our present, inspiring our future . With the help of all of our supporters, our gala raised nearly $100,000 to help continue that mission.
