SUMMARY:History Revealed: Closing Time
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nBill Lindeke & Andy Sturdevant\, Closing Time: Saloons\, Taverns\, Dives\, and Watering Holes of the Twin Cities\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nDecember 12\, 2019\nThursday\, 7:45 pm\nWaldmann Brewery & Wurstery\nReservations requested\, space is limited. Free and open to all.\nRegistration Form \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. \nAn entertaining journey into the highs\, lows\, bright spots\, and dark corners of the Twin Cities’ most famous and infamous drinking establishments—history viewed from the barstool. \nIn 1838\, a rum trader named “Pig’s Eye” Parrant built a small shack in a Mississippi bluff that became the first business in the city of St. Paul: a saloon. Since then\, bars\, taverns\, saloons\, and speakeasies have been part of the cultural\, social\, and physical landscape of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Serving as neighborhood landmarks\, sites of political engagement\, welcoming centers for immigrants\, hotbeds of criminal activity\, targets of ire from church and state alike\, and\, of course\, a place to get a drink\, the story of the taverns and saloons of the Twin Cities is the story of the cities themselves. \nIn Closing Time\, Bill Lindeke and Andy Sturdevant dive into tales from famous and infamous drinking establishments from throughout Twin Cities history. Readers are led on a multigenerational pub crawl through speakeasies\, tied houses\, rathskellers\, cocktail lounges\, gin mills\, fern bars\, social clubs\, singles bars\, gastropubs\, and dives. Featuring beloved bars like Matt’s\, Palmer’s\, the Payne Reliever\, and Moby Dick’s\, the book also resurrects memories of long-forgotten establishments cherished in their day. Lindeke and Sturdevant highlight neighborhood dives\, downtown nightspots\, and out-of-the-way hideaways\, many of which continue to thrive today. Closing Time brings together stories of these spaces and the people who frequented them. \nBooks will be available for purchase and signing at the event. \nBill Lindeke\, Ph.D.\, is an urban geographer and writer who focuses on how our environments shape our lives. He wrote MinnPost’s Cityscapes column from 2014 to 2017\, has written articles on local food and drink history for City Pages and the Growler\, and has taught urban geography at the University of Minnesota and Metro State University.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Wisconsin Brewing
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nHistory Revealed: A Toast to History at Waldmann Brewery & Wurstery\nDoug Hoverson\, The Drink That Made Wisconsin Famous: Beer & Brewing in the Badger State\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nSeptember 12\, 2019\nThursday\, 7:45 pm\nWaldmann’s Brewery & Wurstery\nFree and open to all.\nRegistration requested – Registration Form \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. \nAuthor and historian Doug Hoverson returns to Waldmann’s with his newest book\, The Drink That Made Wisconsin Famous\, a definitive history of beer and breweries in Wisconsin. \nFew places on Earth are as identified with beer as Wisconsin\, with good reason. Since its first commercial brewery was established in 1835\, the state has seen more than 800 open and more than 650 close—sometimes after mere months\, sometimes after thriving for as long as a century and a half. Doug Hoverson explores this rich history\, from the first territorial pioneers to the most recent craft brewers\, and from barley to barstool. Within the larger history\, every brewery has its story\, and Hoverson gives each its due\, investigating the circumstances that meant success or failure and describing in engaging detail the people\, the technology\, the marketing\, and the government relations that delivered Wisconsin’s beer from grain to glass. \nFrom the global breweries that developed in Milwaukee in the 1870s to the “wildcat” breweries of Prohibition and the upstart craft brewers of today\, Hoverson will tell the stories of Wisconsin’s rich brewing history. His research goes beyond the giants like Miller\, Schlitz\, Pabst\, and Heileman\, and examines the hundreds of small breweries across the state started by immigrants and entrepreneurs. Even before beer tourism became popular\, hunters\, anglers\, and travelers found their favorite brews in small Wisconsin cities like Rice Lake\, Stevens Point\, and Chippewa Falls. Hoverson will present some of these breweries in all their diversity\, from the earliest enterprises to the few surviving stalwarts to the modern breweries reviving Wisconsin’s reputation as a brewing state. \nDoug Hoverson is author of Land of Amber Waters: The History of Brewing in Minnesota (Minnesota\, 2007). He has written about beer and brewing history for publications ranging from American Breweriana Journal to The Growler to The Onion. He has been a consultant on documentaries about beer or related businesses and is a popular speaker on the history of beer. \n\nRegistration is needed to attend presentations. Space is limited\, first-come\, first served.\nPresentation is free.\nRegistration requested – Registration Form\nOr call 651-222-0701 or email membership@rchs.com. \nIt’s RCHS Day at Waldmann Brewery & Wurstery!\nOn the second Thursday of each month\, 10% of all sales to RCHS members and their guests will be donated to the Ramsey County Historical Society! \nRCHS members and supporters are encouraged to come and enjoy a lunch/dinner/drink at Waldmann throughout the day\, or time your dinner so that you can stay for the presentation immediately after.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Downtown St. Paul
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nHistory Revealed: A Toast to History at Waldmann Brewery & Wurstery\n\n\n\nIrik Nathanson: Downtown St. Paul\nThursday\, April 11\, 2019\n7:45 pm (note new time)\nFree 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. \n\nMinnesota’s capital city was given a lofty identity when young Catholic priest Lucien Gaultier built a modest log chapel in a wilderness clearing and named it for his patron saint. St. Paul’s modern downtown would later take shape at this very site. In the mid-19th century\, St. Paul’s strategic location at the head of navigation on the Mississippi River was naturally suited as a way station for goods and a hub for settlers pouring into the Upper Midwest. While St. Paul had to relinquish its ranking as Minnesota’s largest city to its twin\, Minneapolis\, the city remains at the center of state politics as Minnesota’s state capital. Following World War II\, a suburban boom weakened the business district\, and downtown St. Paul fell into decline. Over the last 40 years\, however\, St. Paul’s downtown has been reinvented as a major sports\, entertainment\, and cultural center. \nIric Nathanson tells the story of this resilient urban district\, stretching over two centuries\, using images from local archives like the Minnesota Historical Society and the Hennepin County Public Library Special Collections. Nathanson’s most recent work includes The Minneapolis Riverfront and Downtown Minneapolis\, both in the Image of America series. \n\nRegistration is needed to attend presentations. Space is limited\, first-come\, first served.\nPresentation is free.\nRegistration requested. Registration form\nOr call 651-222-0701 or email membership@rchs.com. \nIt’s RCHS Day at Waldmann Brewery & Wurstery!\nOn the second Thursday of each month\, 10% of all sales to RCHS members and their guests will be donated to the Ramsey County Historical Society! \nRCHS members and supporters are encouraged to come and enjoy a lunch/dinner/drink at Waldmann throughout the day\, or time your dinner so that you can stay for the presentation immediately after.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: The Case of Ed Phelan
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nHistory Revealed: A Toast to History at Waldmann Series\nThursday\, January 10\, 2019\nGary Bruggeman\, Minnesota’s Oldest Murder Mystery\, the Case of Ed Phelan\nWaldmann Brewery & Wurstery\nFree 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. \nOn September 27\, 1839\, the battered body of a middle-aged Irishman was found by some Dakota boys washed up along the Mississippi River shore. It was the body of Sgt. John Hays\, a popular former soldier\, who\, prior to his disappearance twenty-one days earlier\, had been sharing a log shanty a few miles upriver from the cave with his friend and business partner\, Edward Phelan (or Phalen). Before the year was over\, Phelan was arrested and charged with the murder of his friend. \nThis is the first book to focus on this historic murder and the first thorough biography of Phelan\, a notorious pioneer intimately involved in the making of St. Paul and founding of Minnesota. Was he guilty? All reports and records of Phelan’s trial were mysteriously lost and no newspapers covered the story. However\, in 1994\, St. Paul historian Gary Brueggemann made an amazing discovery in the Minnesota Historical Society archives – hidden in the papers of Joseph R. Brown was his handwritten transcription of the Hays’ murder hearing. \nUsing this record\, other primary sources\, and drawing from decades of studying Minnesota and St. Paul history\, Gary Bruggeman will present the case of Ed Phelan and his trial for the murder of John Hays. \nRegistration is needed to attend presentations. Space is limited\, first-come\, first served. \nThe presentation is currently FULL.\nTo be added to the waiting list\, please call 651-222-0701 or email membership@rchs.com. \nIt’s RCHS Day at Waldmann Brewery & Wurstery!\nOn the second Thursday of each month\, 10% of all sales to RCHS members and their guests will be donated to the Ramsey County Historical Society! \nRCHS members and supporters are encouraged to come and enjoy a lunch/dinner/drink at Waldmann throughout the day\, or time your dinner so that you can stay for the presentation immediately after.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Columbus Memorial
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nHistory Revealed: A Toast to History at Waldmann Series\nPeter DeCarlo\nMinnesota’s Columbus Memorial: Immigration\, Colonialism\, and Memory on the State Capitol Grounds\nWaldmann Brewery & Wurstery\nFree 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. \nOn October 12\, 1931 a crowd estimated at 25\,000 gathered to celebrate the unveiling of a memorial to Christopher Columbus on the grounds of the Minnesota State Capitol. An association of Italian American Minnesotans led the creation of the monument and presented it as a gift to state. They used the monument to commemorate Columbus – who they argued was the “first American\,” to assert their citizenship\, and to claim their place as white people in the United States. In the white discourse surrounding the monument\, Indigenous peoples and the genocide perpetrated by colonists against them were erased from history. \nToday\, statues of Columbus are seen by many as symbols of violence\, white supremacy\, and colonialism. The Columbus Memorial and its continued existence in a city and state that have proclaimed “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” reveal how particular histories and memories are established\, disseminated\, challenged\, and revised. Should the Columbus Memorial continue to stand on the grounds of Minnesota’s State Capitol? \nJoin Peter DeCarlo\, a research historian at the Minnesota Historical Society\, for this discussion on the historical and contemporary contexts of the Columbus Memorial. \nRegistration is needed to attend presentations. Space is limited\, first-come\, first served.\nPresentation is free.\nRegistration form available here.\nOr call 651-222-0701 or email membership@rchs.com. \nIt’s RCHS Day at Waldmann Brewery & Wurstery!\nOn the second Thursday of each month\, 10% of all sales to RCHS members and their guests will be donated to the Ramsey County Historical Society! \nRCHS members and supporters are encouraged to come and enjoy a lunch/dinner/drink at Waldmann throughout the day\, or time your dinner so that you can stay for the presentation immediately after.
