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:Rondo Plaza Groundbreaking
DESCRIPTION:Join us in commemorating the Rondo Neighborhood. \nGroundbreaking Ceremony for the Rondo Commemorative Plaza\nOn Friday\, October 14\, at 1:30 pm join us for the Groundbreaking Ceremony for the Rondo Commemorative Plaza. The soon-to-be constructed Rondo Commemorative Plaza (RCP) creates both a physical landmark and virtual experience where visitors learn the story of the Rondo neighborhood. This project will transform a vacant plot of land into a focal point\, preserving and sharing local history. \n\nA vacant lot on Concordia Avenue – formerly Rondo Avenue — will be the site of a groundbreaking ceremony for the Rondo Commemorative Plaza. The event takes place on October 14 at 1:30 pm. at 820 Concordia Avenue (at Fisk Street) in Saint Paul. \nThe ceremony will be open to the public. There will be a reception from 4:00-6:00 pm at the Hallie Q. Brown Community Center\, 270 N. Kent Street\, Saint Paul\, MN. The public will be able to review and purchase naming opportunities to etch their names in various locations at the plaza. \nEvent website \nThe lot looks out upon I-94\, the freeway that destroyed the thriving Rondo Neighborhood\, which for many years was the home to nearly 80 percent of the African Americans in the city. The Plaza will engage visitors with a multi-media presentation that includes audio-video remembrances of the social\, political and cultural life of the “Golden Age” of Rondo. \n“The destruction of Rondo was a wound that has never quite healed\,” said Marvin Anderson\, project coordinator and co-founder of Rondo Avenue Inc. “This plaza is an attempt to move forward into an era of reconciliation\, and a future that welcomes a growing diversity of immigrant communities to the neighborhood.” \nThe keynote speaker will be a son of Rondo\, David V. Taylor\, Ph.D.\, a historian and former dean of the General College of the University of Minnesota will deliver remarks: Hallowed Ground: Sites of African American Memories. Emcee for the program will be T. Mychael Rambo. \nFunds for the purchase of the land and the construction of the plaza came from a $250\,000 Community Block Development Grant from the City of Saint Paul\, and financial support from the F. G. Bigelow Foundation\, Mardag Foundation\, Saint Paul Foundation\, Knight Family Foundation\, 3M African-American Employee Network and the Price Family Foundation. \nFor more information about the project\, see the website. \n  \n\n

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  \n
