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.

James Beard Award–winning author Beth Dooley provides the context of food’s origins\, along with delicious recipes\, nutrition information\, and tips for smart sourcing. More than a farm-to-table cookbook\, this book expands the definition of “local food” to embrace regenerative agriculture\, the method of growing small and large crops with ecological services. Beth will share highlights of the book\, recipes and more. \nLight dinner will be supplied by Lakewinds Coop – vegetarian\, vegan\, and gluten-free choices will be available. \nReservations and tickets required\, see the Reservation Form here to order tickets – note that ticket prices include refreshments and your choice to buy a copy of The Perennial Kitchen at a special event discount!

Here James Beard Award–winning author Beth Dooley provides the context of food’s origins\, along with delicious recipes\, nutrition information\, and tips for smart sourcing. \nMore than a farm-to-table cookbook\, The Perennial Kitchen expands the definition of “local food” to embrace regenerative agriculture\, the method of growing small and large crops with ecological services. These farming methods\, grounded in a land ethic\, remediate the environmental damage caused by the monocropping of corn and soybeans. In this thoughtful collection the home cook will find both recipes and insights into artisan grains\, nuts\, fruits\, and vegetables that are delicious and healthy—and also help retain topsoil\, sequester carbon\, and return nutrients to the soil. Here are crops that enhance our soil\, nurture pollinators and song birds\, rebuild rural economies\, protect our water\, and grow plentifully without toxic chemicals. These ingredients are as good for the planet as they are on our plates. \nDooley explains how to stock the pantry with artisan grains\, heritage dry beans\, fresh flour\, healthy oils\, and natural sweeteners. She offers pointers on working with grass-fed beef and pastured pork and describes how to turn leftovers into tempting soups and stews. She makes the most of each season’s bounty\, from fresh garlic scape pesto to roasted root vegetable hummus. Here we learn how best to use nature’s “fast foods\,” the quick-cooking egg and ever-reliable chicken; how to work with alternative flours\, as in gingerbread with rye or focaccia with Kernza®; and how to make plant-forward\, nutritious vegan and vegetarian fare. Among other sweet pleasures\, Dooley shares the closely held secret recipe from the University of Minnesota’s student association for the best apple pie. Woven throughout the recipes is the most recent research on nutrition\, along with a guide to sources and information that cuts through the noise and confusion of today’s food labels and trends. \nBeth Dooley looks back into ingredients’ healthy beginnings and forward to the healthy future they promise. At the center of it all is the cook\, linking into the regenerative and resilient food chain with every carefully sourced\, thoughtfully prepared\, and delectable dish. \nBeth Dooley is author or coauthor of several cookbooks\, including Savoring the Seasons of the Northern Heartland\, The Northern Heartland Kitchen\, Minnesota’s Bounty\, The Birchwood Cafe Cookbook\, Savory Sweet: Simple Preserves from a Northern Kitchen\, Sweet Nature: A Cook’s Guide to Using Honey and Maple Syrup\, and The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen (Best American Cookbook\, James Beard Award\, 2018)\, all from Minnesota. In Winter’s Kitchen is her memoir about finding her place in the Midwestern food scene. She lives in Minneapolis. \nMette Nielsen’s photographs have illustrated numerous books\, newspapers\, and magazines. A talented master gardener\, she created the edible garden for the Birchwood Cafe in Minneapolis\, collaborated on The Birchwood Cafe Cookbook and Minnesota’s Bounty\, and was a coauthor of Savory Sweet and Sweet Nature. \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Evenings at Gibbs: June 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. \n  \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 is 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.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Tulsa Race Massacre
DESCRIPTION:The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre\nKarlos K. Hill\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nTuesday\, June 22\, 2021\, 7:00 pm\nNew registration link: Rescheduled Registration Link\nFor questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library \n\n\n\nJoin us for this very special History Revealed program with Karlos K. Hill\, author of the new book\, The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre: A Photographic History\, on the centennial of the event in Tulsa\, OK.  \nOn the evening of May 31\, 1921\, and in the early morning hours of June 1\, several thousand white citizens and authorities violently attacked the African American Greenwood District of Tulsa\, Oklahoma. In the course of some twelve hours of mob violence\, white Tulsans reduced one of the nation’s most prosperous black communities to rubble and killed an estimated 300 people\, mostly African Americans. This richly illustrated volume\, featuring more than 175 photographs\, along with oral testimonies\, shines a new spotlight on the race massacre from the vantage point of its victims and survivors. \nHistorian and Black Studies professor Karlos K. Hill presents a range of photographs taken before\, during\, and after the massacre\, mostly by white photographers. Some of the images are published here for the first time. Comparing these photographs to those taken elsewhere in the United States of lynchings\, the author makes a powerful case for terming the 1921 outbreak not a riot but a massacre. White civilians\, in many cases assisted or condoned by local and state law enforcement\, perpetuated a systematic and coordinated attack on Black Tulsans and their property. \nDespite all the violence and devastation\, black Tulsans rebuilt the Greenwood District brick by brick. By the mid-twentieth century\, Greenwood had reached a new zenith\, with nearly 250 Black-owned and Black-operated businesses. Today the citizens of Greenwood\, with support from the broader community\, continue to work diligently to revive the neighborhood once known as “Black Wall Street.” As a result\, Hill asserts\, the most important legacy of the Tulsa Race Massacre is the grit and resilience of the Black survivors of racist violence. \nThe 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre: A Photographic History offers a perspective largely missing from other accounts. At once captivating and disturbing\, it will embolden readers to confront the uncomfortable legacy of racial violence in U.S. history. \n \nKarlos K. Hill is Associate Professor and Chair of the Clara Luper Department of African and African American Studies at the University of Oklahoma and the author of Beyond the Rope: The Impact of Lynching on Black Culture and Memory.\nImage of Professor Hill from https://www.ou.edu/cas/afam/faculty-staff\n \n \nAn additional book for families and children grades 3-6\, Unspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre by Carole Boston Weatherford\, illustrated by Floyd Cooper\, is available from Lerner Publications at https://lernerbooks.com/shop/show/20776 \nTo purchase titles from the History Revealed series\, or other books of interest\, see our partner\, Subtext Books at https://subtextbooks.com/

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Scandinavian Woman Suffrage Association
DESCRIPTION:The Scandinavian Woman Suffrage Association of Minnesota\nAnna Peterson\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nJune 10\, 2021\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nRegister Here\n \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nThe presentation will be recorded.\nFor registration or other questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library\n \n\n\nDuring the fight for women’s suffrage\, Minnesota was home to one of the only ethnic suffrage organizations in the country. The Scandinavian Woman Suffrage Association (SWSA) operated from 1907 to 1919 and used cultural connections to garner support for women’s suffrage at the state and national levels.  Its leaders played on ethnic afficilitation and identity to lobby Scandinavian-American legislators and members of the general public to vote for women’s enfranchisement.  The SWSA had members from all walks of life\, serving to counter anti-suffragist claims that suffragists were only elite\, society women who did not represent the typical American woman. This talk will detail the history of the SWSA and the ways in which its membership’s varied ethnic and class backgrounds “spiced up” the women’s suffrage movement.\n\nAnna M. Peterson is associate professor of history at Luther College in Decorah\, IA. She also serves as editor for the Norwegian-American Historical Association. Her many publications include two articles on the Scandinavian Woman Suffrage Association published in Minnesota History and The Journal of American Ethnic History.\n\n
