SUMMARY:History Revealed: Parks & Playgrounds Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Natalie Heneghan\, Noticing the New Deal: Parks & Playgrounds Walking Tour\n\nHistory Revealed – Tour Series\nTuesday\, August 20\n6:00-8:00 pm\nPlease RSVP by August 19\, 3:00 pm to robyn@rchs.com or 651-222-0701\, or reserve your ticket here. Link to online reservation form. \nJoin RCHS for our presentation series\, History Revealed\, featuring the best local historians\, authors and archeologists talking about a wide range of topics drawn from the heritage and traditions of Ramsey County. \nThe Twin Cities have long boasted beautiful parks\, waterfronts\, and trail systems – in no small part because of the New Deal. Workers employed through New Deal programs in the 1930s changed the shape of St. Paul & Minneapolis’ parks and trails. From stone walls to playgrounds and park shelters to beaches\, the New Deal’s imprint on our public landscape is indelible. \nOur tour will begin at East Side Freedom Library for a discussion about New Deal projects in Minnesota. Learn why parks\, trails\, and recreation were priorities for the New Deal. We’ll dig into questions of who was allowed to take part in this work\, and who was left behind. \nThen we’ll hop on a bus to explore two parks that showcase (in subtle and sometimes hidden ways) handiwork of New Deal era workers: Indian Mounds Regional Park and Phalen Regional Park. \nFinally\, learn how you can get involved in in finding and documenting New Deal projects. \nSpeaker & guide Natalie Heneghan is the Minnesota Associate for the Living New Deal\, a project to map New Deal sites all over the country. \nRCHS would like to thank the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota for their co-sponsorship of this event. \nFeatured image: A monument at Phalen Park to those CCC’ers who lost their lives on duty.
