SUMMARY:History Revealed: St Paul
DESCRIPTION:St. Paul: An Urban Biography\nBill Lindeke\n\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nOctober 21\, 2021\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nNote new date! \nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting: Zoom Registration Link\nRegistration is limited. You will receive a confirmation email after registering.\nFor registration or other questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nIn partnership with the Roseville Library and the East Side Freedom Library\n \n\nAuthor Bill Lindeke will share stories and research from his new book\, St. Paul: An Urban Biography\, a concise history of St. Paul\, featuring stories that are familiar\, surprising\, and sure to change the way you see Minnesota’s capital city. \nHow did the city of St. Paul come to be where and what it is\, and what does that show us about the city today? Bill Lindeke provides intriguing insights and helpful answers. He tells the stories of the Dakota village forced to move across the Mississippi by a treaty—and why whiskey sellers took over the site; the new community’s close ties to Fort Snelling and Winnipeg; the steamboats and railroads that created a booming city; the German immigrants who outnumbered the Irish but kept a low profile when the United States went to war; the laborers who built the domes over the state capitol and the Cathedral of St. Paul; the gangsters and bootleggers who found refuge in the city; the strong neighborhoods\, shaped by streets built on footpaths and wagon roads—until freeway construction changed so much; and the Hmong\, Mexican\, East African\, and Karen immigrants who continue to build the city’s strong traditions of small businesses. \nThis thoughtful investigation of place helps readers to understand the city’s hidden stories\, surrounding its residents in plain sight. \nBill Lindeke 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. He writes a local urban blog at Twin City Sidewalks and is a member of the Saint Paul Planning Commission. He is the author of Minneapolis–Saint Paul: Then and Now and the coauthor of Closing Time: Saloons\, Taverns\, Dives\, and Watering Holes of the Twin Cities. \nTo purchase titles from the History Revealed series\, or other books of interest\, see our partner\, Subtext Books at https://subtextbooks.com/

SUMMARY:Neighborhood Architecture – Irvine Park Saint Paul
DESCRIPTION:Neighborhood Architecture – Irvine Park\, Saint Paul\nSaturday\, October 9\, 2021\n2:00 pm–4:00 pm\n\n\nGeorge Latimer Central Library\nFor more information and to register\, please see the Saint Paul Central Library webpage.\nPlease register if you plan on taking the tour to Irvine Park. The tour is limited to 25 attendees.\nThe program is free and open to all.\n \n\nJeanne Kosfeld and Richard Kronick have created a unique first book featuring the lovely Irvine Park neighborhood. The book’s author\, Richard Kronick\, will speak about the history of Irvine Park. If weather permits\, this will be followed by a short walk from the library to Irvine Park\, where Mr. Kronick will give a 50-minute tour of the neighborhood. \nIf you wish to purchase your own copy of the coloring book in advance of the talk or tour you may order it online. Neighborhood Architecture – Irvine Park\, Saint Paul: a coloring book contains eighteen house sketches\, brief histories of the homes’ owners and architecture\, and an architectural style guide and glossary at the end of the forty-eight-page book. \nMore About the Book: What began as a casual sketch outing in Saint Paul’s charming Irvine Park neighborhood during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic became Neighborhood Architecture – Irvine Park\, Saint Paul: a coloring book. Twin Cities-based illustrator Jeanne Kosfeld and author Richard Kronick have together transformed a simple sketchbook featuring pen and ink drawings into a brief storytelling of the Irvine Park neighborhood’s unique 172-year history. Artists of all ages and abilities may colorize their own imagined versions of these historic edifices\, including fanciful Queen Anne-style homes\, simple clapboard houses\, and elaborate French Second Empire-style mansions\, while learning about the architecture and history of the area and its inhabitants at the same time. \nThis coloring book\, the first in a series of Saint Paul neighborhoods featuring local architecture and history\, is published by the Ramsey County Historical Society and celebrates the far-reaching results of the Irvine Park residents’ hard work and dedication. \nAbout the Illustrator: Artist Jeanne Kosfeld paints primarily with water-based media\, but her large body of work also includes print and board game design and public sculpture. She started her career as a newspaper illustrator and cartoonist. Along her creative path\, she led the design department at the University of Alaska\, where she was also an adjunct faculty member. In Minnesota\, she worked as the creative director at Ordway Center for the Performing Arts for eighteen years. Kosfeld has won several awards\, and her work resides in many public and private collections. She has been honored with artist-in-residences around the globe. \nAbout the Author: Richard Kronick has been a full-time freelance writer since 1985\, specializing in architecture and engineering. He is the co-author with Rick Harrison and Greg Yoko of a 2010 book on suburban planning titled Prefurbia: Reinventing the Suburbs from Disdainable to Sustainable. Kronick has written over one hundred articles and reviews on the built environment and has planned and led more than sixty architecture tours in the Twin Cities\, the Midwest\, and Italy. He is a member of the board of directors of the nonprofit Preserve Minneapolis (PM) and is editor-in-chief of PM’s MinneapolisHistorical.org\, a guide to the city’s architecture. He often lectures and teaches continuing education courses on the history of architecture and is an expert on the Prairie School architects Purcell & Elmslie. \n

SUMMARY:History Revealed: A Private Wilderness
DESCRIPTION:A Private Wilderness: The Journals of Sigurd F. Olson\nwith David Backes\n\n\n\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nAugust 19\, 2021\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting: Registration Link\nRegistration is limited. You will receive a confirmation email after registering.\nFor registration or other questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nDavid Backes will share the personal diaries of one of America’s best-loved naturalists\, revealing his difficult and inspiring path to finding his voice and becoming a writer. Written mostly during the years from 1930 to 1941\, Sigurd F. Olson’s journals describe the dreams and frustrations of an aspiring writer honing his skills\, pursuing recognition\, and facing doubt. Author of Olson’s definitive biography\, editor David Backes brings a deep knowledge of the writer to these journals\, providing critical context\, commentary\, and insights along the way.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFew writers are as renowned for their eloquence about the natural world\, its power and fragility\, as Sigurd F. Olson (1899–1982). Before he could give expression to The Singing Wilderness\, however\, he had to find his own voice. It is this struggle\, the painstaking and often simply painful process of becoming the writer and conservationist now familiar to us\, that Olson documented in the journal entries that Backes gathered. \nWritten mostly during the years from 1930 to 1941\, Olson’s journals describe the dreams and frustrations of an aspiring writer honing his skills\, pursuing recognition\, and facing doubt while following the academic career that allowed him to live and work even as it consumed so much of his time. But even as he speaks with immediacy and intensity about the conditions of his apprenticeship\, Olson can be seen developing the singular way of observing and depicting the natural world that would bring him fame—and also\, more significantly\, alert others to the urgent need to understand and protect that world. \nWhen Olson wrote\, in the spring of 1941\, “What I am afraid of now is that the world will blow up just as I am getting it organized to suit me\,” he could hardly have known how right he would prove to be. It is propitious that at our present moment\, when the world seems once more balanced on the precipice\, we have the words of Sigurd F. Olson to remind us of what matters—and of the hard work and the wonder that such a reckoning requires. \nSigurd F. Olson introduced generations of Americans to the importance of wilderness. He served as president of the Wilderness Society and the National Parks Association and as a consultant to the federal government on wilderness preservation. He earned many honors\, including the highest possible awards from the Sierra Club\, the National Wildlife Federation\, and the Izaak Walton League. The first of his many influential books was The Singing Wilderness (1956; reprint available from Minnesota). \n \nDavid Backes is author of A Wilderness Within: The Life of Sigurd F. Olson and editor of Olson’s The Meaning of Wilderness: Essential Articles and Speeches\, both from Minnesota. In 2015 he retired as professor of journalism and mass communication at the University of Wisconsin\, Milwaukee. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo purchase titles from the History Revealed series\, or other books of interest\, see our partner\, Subtext Books at https://subtextbooks.com/

SUMMARY:Evenings at Gibbs: July Farmhouse Tour
DESCRIPTION:Our Evening Farmhouse tour is back with a twist!\nRamsey County Historical Society and Gibbs Farm staff are incredibly excited to welcome Members and guests back for in-person programming. The Evenings at Gibbs event series is a chance for adults to enjoy history and snacks in the beautiful and educational 8-acre Gibbs Farm setting. \nJane and Heman Gibbs purchased 160 acres of land in the new Minnesota Territory in 1849\, shortly after their marriage. For the first five years they lived in a sod house before eventually building a log cabin in 1853. As they expanded their family and their farm business they added and improved on this log cabin\, adding a parlor\, bedrooms and a summer kitchen. The Gibbs Family lived on this land for over 100 years. The farmhouse was purchased by the newly created Ramsey County Historical Society in 1949 and has been an educational space ever since. \nSite manager Sammy Nelson will lead guests through the rooms of the Farmhouse\, connecting the Gibbs Family story to the larger historical context of Minnesota’s early statehood. This tour is great for first time visitors and longtime supporters of Gibbs Farm\, as Sammy will highlight some of her favorite rediscovered facts and anecdotes from her winter research project. \nCheck-in starts at 5:30\, grab a drink\, visit the farm animals and check out the gardens before the tour begins at 6:00. \nTickets $25 ($18 RCHS Members) \nPre-registration required\, purchase tickets online or by calling the Gibbs Farm Office 651-646-8629. \nTicket price includes: a glass of wine\, beer\, or choice of themed NA beverage and light appetizers. Food will be enjoyed before the tour enters the farmhouse.
