SUMMARY:Dakota Day 2017
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Minnesota’s First People! \nDakota Day\nGibbs Farm Tipi\nJoin us as we celebrate the lifeways\, language\, stories\, arts\, and games of Minnesota’s First People. \nHave you ever wondered what the word Minnesota really means?

The event is open to the public\, and provides an exciting and educational experience appropriate for families of all ages.

David Louis is a nationally-recognized Dakota artist\, whose work in quillwork and beading using traditional methods has been featured in museums and shops throughout the United States. David Louis grew up on the Sisseton-Wahpeton Dakota reservation in a very traditional family. He took up the mission of learning quillwork on his own about 30 years ago when he realized it was in danger of dying out. By studying museum collections and talking with elders\, David gained a foundation for teaching himself the techniques of quillwork. David will be demonstrating his art during Dakota Day\, the culmination of a week-long residency at Gibbs Farm.

Gibbs Farm tells the true story of the pioneering Gibbs family of Heman and Jane Gibbs and their friendship with the Dakota of Cloud Man’s village. Gibbs Farm offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore a unique story that spanned generations and ignored the cultural tensions of the time. The Dakota people and the Gibbs family achieved what society at large could not\, providing mutual aid and friendship. \nThe Dakota’s friendly interactions with the Gibbs\, and the hospitality shown by both sides began in 1835 when Jane DeBow (Gibbs) arrived at Fort Snelling as a child of eight\, and lived among Cloud Man’s band of Dakota on the shores of Lake Calhoun in present-day Minneapolis. She learned to speak Dakota and gained an intimate knowledge of the Dakota way of life. The Dakota gave her the name “Little Bird That Was Caught.” Later\, when Jane had married Heman Gibbs and they had acquired their farmstead where the Farm is today\, Cloud Man’s Dakota band\, sometimes numbering as many as 150\, camped on the Gibbs’ farm to rest and visit Jane\, often for as long as three weeks. Many in this band were Jane’s childhood friends\, and appreciated Heman and Jane’s hospitality. \nGibbs Farm continues that tradition today\, working closely in partnership with the Dakota community to provide educational opportunities to families\, schools and day campers about Minnesota’s First People. \nGibbs Farm offers a unique look at the two cultures that existed peacefully side by side at the farm\, their methods of housing and agriculture\, and provides insight into the Gibbs’ special relationship with the Dakota. Gibbs Farm has become nationally known for its presentations of historic pioneer and Dakota life and culture. Gibbs’ interpreters frequently visit local schools to educate students on Dakota life and culture. \nGibbs Farm features tipi\, a Dakota summer bark lodge\, farm buildings\, a one-room-schoolhouse\, a replica of the original “soddy” sod house that the Gibbs built\, the Gibbs’ original farmhouse\, and three gardens that demonstrate the agricultural methods of the Dakota\, the pioneers and the Victorians\, and a restored prairie. Exhibits show farm implements\, household furnishings\, clothing\, kitchen implements\, and more. Costumed interpreters will guide visitors and answer questions. \nAdmission for Dakota Day is $8 adults\, $7 seniors (62+)\, $5 children (4+)\, free for RCHS members. \nFor more information\, please call the Gibbs Farm at 651-646-8629\, or Contact Us. \nDakota Day

SUMMARY:In Honor of Pearl Harbor 75th Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:In Honor of Pearl Harbor \nIn honor of the 75th Anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor that ushered the US into WWII on December 7\, 1941\, at 7:48 am\, we want to thank all the service men and women from Ramsey County and throughout the US\, and their families. The destroyer U.S.S. Ward and her mostly Saint Paul crew have been credited for firing the first shot of WWII (by the United States)\, sinking a Japanese submarine at the mouth of Pearl Harbor an hour before the air attack. First launched in 1918\, the photo is of the burning of the U.S.S. Ward from an air strike\, three years to the day after the attack at Pearl Harbor. All the crew survived this air strike. \nFor more on this story\, see Ramsey County History\, Winter 1991\, Vol. 26\, #4

SUMMARY:Farm Fridays
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy the rich heritage of pioneer crafts!\n \nGibbs Farm Fridays: A Pioneer Woman’s Craft Heritage\nFriday July 22\, 2016: Quilting \nOther Programs: July 15\, August 5\, August 19\, 2016\n10:00 am-Noon\nOpen to all\nAdmission: $8 adults\, $7 seniors 62+\, $5 children ages 4-16. Free for RCHS members.\nJoin us this summer as we celebrate “A Pioneer Woman” at Gibbs Farm with two new programs series\, “Farm Fridays: A Pioneer Woman’s Craft Heritage” and “Sunday Series: A Pioneer Woman’s Kitchen.” \nThousands upon thousands of pioneer women flooded into Minnesota during the territorial and early statehood years. Many of these women left behind family and friends to move halfway across America\, or even half way across the world\, to settle into their new homes. \nAlong with their husbands\, they established schools and churches\, raised families and contributed to the heritage of our state. Join us this summer as we celebrate “A Pioneer Woman” at Gibbs Farm. \nIn the mid-1800s\, pioneer women made many of the household objects used in their day-to-day lives. A wave of new inventions during this era meant more free time for farm women; as they created objects used in daily life\, they mixed function and form to create a folk art heritage. \nEach topic will include a brief history and hands-on activity to take home.\nPrograms are open to all.\nFree parking in our Gibbs Farm lot.\n Note: Please schedule groups of more than 10 guests two weeks in advance. \nProgram Schedule\nPrograms are led by costumed Gibbs Museum interpretive staff. Programs are subject to change. \n\nFriday\, July 15: Basket Weaving\nFriday\, July 22: Quilting\nFriday\, August 5: Natural Dyes\nFriday\, August 19: Candle Dipping\n\nTours\nThe site will also be open for tours during Farm Fridays:\nPioneer Tour: 10:30 am\nDakota Tour: 11:30 am

SUMMARY:HIV/AIDS Oral History Project
DESCRIPTION:Help RCHS Save Lives:\nThe HIV/AIDS Oral History Project\nRCHS is collecting oral histories to save lives. We are documenting the appalling gap between identifying HIV/AIDS as a health crisis and the full-scale response required to develop effective treatments\, a delay that allowed the deaths of thousands. A total of 35 oral histories are being recorded and the results are being provided to lawmakers across the country to encourage faster responses to current and future medical crisis. The project recently received a matching $10\,000 challenge grant from the Jay & Rose Phillips Family Foundation of Minnesota. \nYou can help – learn more here!
