SUMMARY:History Revealed: Tracing Teddy Roosevelt
DESCRIPTION:Special Event \nJames Blase\, Tracing TR’s 1903 Train Trip Tour: Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of Theodore Roosevelt’s Death in 1919\nHistory Revealed Series\nJuly 14\nSunday\, 2:30-4:00 pm\nLandmark Center\n\nPresentation & Book Signing: Keep it for Your Children: Theodore Roosevelt’s 1903 Western Trip\nReservations requested – see the page here or call the office at 651-222-0701. Free and open to all. \nJoin RCHS for History Revealed\, our program series featuring presentations and tours from the best of local historians\, authors and archaeologists\, with a wide range of topics drawn from the heritage and traditions of Ramsey County. \nAs part of his “Tracing TR’s 1903 Train Trip Tour\,” author James Blase will be presenting the history of Teddy Roosevelt’s train trip throughout the country in the spring of 1903\, one that culminated in a stop at the Grand Canyon. Blase’s new book\, Keep it for Your Children: Theodore Roosevelt’s 1903 Western Trip\, creates a first-person journal of a 66-day western train trip the President made during his first term in office\, in 1903 – a year after the Landmark Center first opened its doors. The train trip included a stop in Saint Paul\, where Theodore Roosevelt arrived by train at 2:30 pm on April 4\, 1903\, and where the President spoke to a crowd estimated at approximately 50\,000 outside the Cedar Street side of the State Capitol. Late in the afternoon the President travelled to Minneapolis\, where he attended a banquet and made a speech at the Nicolette Hotel. \nJim Blase’s presentation\, complete with photos\, will cover the entire 66-day trip\, but he will be emphasizing the President’s stops in Saint Paul and Minneapolis. The presentation is being made in conjunction with a two-week Amtrak western “loop tour” train trip Jim Blase will be making\, beginning in St Louis Missouri (the “Gateway to the West”) on July 1\, and continuing through New Mexico\, the Grand Canyon\, Southern California\, Oregon\, Montana\, North Dakota and Minnesota\, culminating back in St. Louis. The tour’s route mirrors much of the President’s in 1903. \n \nSigned copies of Keep it for Your Children: Theodore Roosevelt’s 1903 Western Trip\, Blase’s 390-page book\, the title of which derives from the President’s May 6\, 1903 speech at the Grand Canyon\, will be available at a discounted price. \nReservations requested – see the page here or call the RCHS office at 651-222-0701. Space is limited. \n2019 History Revealed Programs\n\nSee the History Revealed 2019 information page for updates and a list of programs.\nOr check our Calendar for these and other programs at the Gibbs Farm\, and more!

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Wild & Rare
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nAdam Regn Arvidson\, Wild & Rare: Tracking Endangered Species in the Upper Midwest\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nJune 11\, 2019\n6:00 pm: Prairie Tour\n7:00 pm: Presentation & Book Signing\nGibbs Farm\nFree and open to all. No reservations needed. \nJoin us prior to the presentation to tour our restored native prairie! \nJoin RCHS for History Revealed\, our program series featuring presentations and tours from the best of local historians\, authors and archaeologists\, with a wide range of topics drawn from the heritage and traditions of Ramsey County. \nCompelling stories of Minnesota’s endangered species\, the landscapes that nurture them\, and the people who are discovering their secrets.What can endangered species tell us about our part of the world? What can they tell us about us? The elusive Canada lynx bears kittens in Minnesota’s northeastern woods. In the far southeastern part of the state\, the succulent Leedy’s roseroot clings to cold cliffs. On the northwestern grasslands\, the western prairie fringed orchid grows only on ancient glacial beach ridges. In the rivers of the Twin Cities metro area\, the snuffbox mussel snaps on a fish’s nose to give its larvae a temporary home. These species and fifteen others living in Minnesota are on the federal Endangered Species List. This book is an entertaining and educational journey through Minnesota’s diverse landscapes\, one wild and rare inhabitant at a time. Books will be available for purchase and signing. \nArvidson\, a talented science reporter and genial guide\, uncovers the stories of these plants and animals\, providing compelling views of the state’s northern pine forest\, deciduous forest\, and prairie landscapes. Readers learn how beach driving in Texas affects Minnesota’s northernmost bird; how ranchers feel about prairie minnows; how urban runoff affects rivers and therefore mussels; how the wolf ended up in court. Scientists\, orchid-hounds\, lawyers\, and nature lovers weigh in on the value and benefit of rare species—and their right to exist. \nAdam Regn Arvidson is a nonfiction writer and landscape architect living in Minneapolis. His work has appeared in publications ranging from Landscape Architecture Magazine to the Utne Reader to flyway: journal of writing and the environment. In 2009 he was awarded the Bradford Williams Medal for excellence in writing about landscape architecture. He has served as an editor for several publications and is the author of Greening the Landscape: Strategies for Environmentally Sound Practice.  \n2019 History Revealed Programs\n\nSee the History Revealed 2019 information page for updates and a list of programs.\nOr check our Calendar for these and other programs at the Gibbs Farm\, and more!

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Metropolitan Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nLarry Millett: Metropolitan Dreams\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nApril 25\, 2019\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nRamsey County Roseville Library\nFree and open to all. No reservations needed. \nJoin RCHS for History Revealed\, our program series featuring presentations and tours from the best of local historians\, authors and archaeologists\, with a wide range of topics drawn from the heritage and traditions of Ramsey County. \nThe story of one of Minnesota’s most famous and most mourned buildings\, set against the history of downtown Minneapolis. \nWhen it opened in 1890\, the twelve-story Northwestern Guaranty Loan Building was the tallest\, largest\, and most splendid commercial structure in Minneapolis—a mighty stone skyscraper built for the ages. How this grand Richardsonian Romanesque edifice\, which later came to be called the Metropolitan Building\, rose with the growth of Minneapolis only to fall in the throes of the city’s postwar renewal\, is revealed in Metropolitan Dreams in all its scandalous intrigue. It is a tale of urban growing pains and architectural ghosts and of colorful\, sometimes criminal characters amid the grandeur and squalor of building and rebuilding a city’s skyline. \nAgainst the thrumming backdrop of turn-of-the-century Minneapolis\, architectural critic and historian Larry Millett recreates the impressive rise of the massive office building\, its walls of green New Hampshire granite and red Lake Superior sandstone surrounding its true architectural wonder\, a dazzling twelve-story iron and glass light court. The drama\, however\, was far from confined to the building itself. A consummate storyteller\, Millett summons the frenetic atmosphere in Gilded Age Minneapolis that encouraged the likes of Northwestern Guaranty’s founder\, real estate speculator Louis Menage\, whose shady deals financed this Minneapolis masterpiece—and then forced him to flee both prosecution and the country a mere three years later. \nDubious as its financial beginnings might have been\, the economic circumstances of the Metropolitan’s demise were at least as questionable. Anchoring Minneapolis’s historic Gateway District in its heyday\, the building’s fortunes shifted with the city’s demographics and finally it fell victim to the fervor of one of the largest downtown urban renewal projects ever undertaken in the United States. Though the long and furious battle to save the Metropolitan ultimately failed in 1962\, its ghost persists in the passion for historic preservation stirred by its demise—and in Metropolitan Dreams\, whose photographs\, architectural drawings\, and absorbing narrative bring the building and its story to vibrant\, enduring life. \nLarry Millet. Photo by Matt Schmidt.\nLarry Millett is the author of many notable books on regional architecture\, including Once There Were Castles\, Minnesota Modern: Architecture and Life at Midcentury (winner of a Minnesota Book Award)\, and Heart of St. Paul: A History of the Pioneer and Endicott Buildings\, all published by Minnesota\, as well as Lost Twin Cities\, Minnesota’s Own: Preserving Our Grand Homes\, and several AIA Guides to the architecture of the Twin Cities. He has also written eight historical novels involving Sherlock Holmes set in turn-of-the-century Minnesota. \n2019 History Revealed Programs\n\nSee the History Revealed 2019 information page for updates and a list of programs.\nOr check our Calendar for these and other programs at the Gibbs Farm\, and more!

By depicting wildlife as part of an ecological setting\, and highlighting places in need of preservation\, they played a critical role in building the conservation movement. The Bell Museum’s dioramas were created during the peak of the diorama era and are considered among the finest in the world. When the Bell Museum started to plan for a new facility\, moving and re-interpreting the dioramas was a central concern. \nIn this talk\, Don will trace the history of dioramas\, introduce the artists and naturalists who created the dioramas here in Minnesota\, and discuss the process of moving and re-imagining them for the new Bell Museum \nAbout Don Luce\, Curator of Exhibits\, Bell Museum\, University of Minnesota \nDon Luce has worked in the museum world for four decades.
