SUMMARY:History Revealed: Homes vs Factories
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nMarc Manderscheid: Homes vs. Factories: The 95-Year Battle over the Future of the South Highland Park Neighborhood”\nHistory Revealed Series\nApril 6\, 2019\nSaturday\, 1:00 pm\nSt. Paul Highland Library\nFree and open to all. No reservations needed. \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. \nThe opening of the Ford plant in Highland Park in 1924 was only the beginning. Business leaders wanted the entire area south of St. Paul Avenue for industrial development: 700 acres above the bluff for factories and 600 acres on the Mississippi River for coal receiving by barge. \nMarc Manderscheid will present “Homes vs. Factories: The 95-Year Battle over the Future of the South Highland Park Neighborhood.”  He will explain how city and business leaders planned to make a great new industrial district\, but multiple factors killed the industrial dream: “down zoning” and changing economics then created the current residential neighborhood. \nFeatured image: Aerial view of the Highland Park neighborhood\, looking south.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Metropolitan Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nLarry Millett: Metropolitan Dreams\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nApril 25\, 2019\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nRamsey County Roseville Library\nFree and open to all. No reservations needed. \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. \nThe story of one of Minnesota’s most famous and most mourned buildings\, set against the history of downtown Minneapolis. \nWhen it opened in 1890\, the twelve-story Northwestern Guaranty Loan Building was the tallest\, largest\, and most splendid commercial structure in Minneapolis—a mighty stone skyscraper built for the ages. How this grand Richardsonian Romanesque edifice\, which later came to be called the Metropolitan Building\, rose with the growth of Minneapolis only to fall in the throes of the city’s postwar renewal\, is revealed in Metropolitan Dreams in all its scandalous intrigue. It is a tale of urban growing pains and architectural ghosts and of colorful\, sometimes criminal characters amid the grandeur and squalor of building and rebuilding a city’s skyline. \nAgainst the thrumming backdrop of turn-of-the-century Minneapolis\, architectural critic and historian Larry Millett recreates the impressive rise of the massive office building\, its walls of green New Hampshire granite and red Lake Superior sandstone surrounding its true architectural wonder\, a dazzling twelve-story iron and glass light court. The drama\, however\, was far from confined to the building itself. A consummate storyteller\, Millett summons the frenetic atmosphere in Gilded Age Minneapolis that encouraged the likes of Northwestern Guaranty’s founder\, real estate speculator Louis Menage\, whose shady deals financed this Minneapolis masterpiece—and then forced him to flee both prosecution and the country a mere three years later. \nDubious as its financial beginnings might have been\, the economic circumstances of the Metropolitan’s demise were at least as questionable. Anchoring Minneapolis’s historic Gateway District in its heyday\, the building’s fortunes shifted with the city’s demographics and finally it fell victim to the fervor of one of the largest downtown urban renewal projects ever undertaken in the United States. Though the long and furious battle to save the Metropolitan ultimately failed in 1962\, its ghost persists in the passion for historic preservation stirred by its demise—and in Metropolitan Dreams\, whose photographs\, architectural drawings\, and absorbing narrative bring the building and its story to vibrant\, enduring life. \nLarry Millet. Photo by Matt Schmidt.\nLarry Millett is the author of many notable books on regional architecture\, including Once There Were Castles\, Minnesota Modern: Architecture and Life at Midcentury (winner of a Minnesota Book Award)\, and Heart of St. Paul: A History of the Pioneer and Endicott Buildings\, all published by Minnesota\, as well as Lost Twin Cities\, Minnesota’s Own: Preserving Our Grand Homes\, and several AIA Guides to the architecture of the Twin Cities. He has also written eight historical novels involving Sherlock Holmes set in turn-of-the-century Minnesota. \n2019 History Revealed Programs\n\nSee the History Revealed 2019 information page for updates and a list of programs.\nOr check our Calendar for these and other programs at the Gibbs Farm\, and more!

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Diesel Heart
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nMelvin Carter Jr.: Diesel Heart\nwith Marvin R. Anderson\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nMay 7\, 2019\nTuesday\, 7:00 pm\nEast Side Freedom Library\nFree and open to all. No reservations needed. \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. \nFull of humor\, toughness\, hard work\, and surprising vulnerability\, this book shows the bitter weight of racism and the power of principled resistance.\n\nThe doctors gathered around\, passing the stethoscope from hand to hand\, taking turns listening to my chest. Finally\, the lead doctor said\, “Now\, that’s what I call a heartbeat!”\nI snapped\, “Whaddaya mean?”\n“It’s like hearing a diesel engine inside a Mustang body\,” he said. \nMelvin Whitfield Carter Jr.\, the father of St. Paul’s current mayor\, is a true son of Rondo\, the city’s storied African American neighborhood. He was born in a city divided along racial lines and rich in cultural misunderstanding. Growing up in the 1950s and ’60s\, he witnessed the destruction of his neighborhood by the I-94 freeway—and he found his way to fighting and trouble. \nBut Carter turned his life around. As a young man\, he enlisted in the US Navy. He used his fighting ability to survive racist treatment\, winning boxing matches and respect. And as an affirmative action hire in the St. Paul Police Department\, facing prejudice at every turn\, this hardworking\, talented\, and highly principled officer fought to protect the people of the city he calls home. \nDiesel Heart is the story of a leader who created a powerful family legacy by standing up for what is right\, even in the face of adversity. Marvin R. Anderson will be joining Melvin Carter in an informal\, engaging and enlightening conversation\, sharing Mr. Carter’s story and the history of a neighborhood and a city during a turbulent time. \nCopies of Diesel Heart will be available for purchase and signing. \nMelvin Whitfield Carter Jr. served as an officer in the St. Paul Police Department for twenty-eight years. He is the founder and executive director of Save Our Sons. \nMarvin Roger Anderson was raised in Saint Paul’s Rondo neighborhood before leaving to attend Morehouse College in Atlanta\, Georgia\, and then received his J.D. from Hastings College of Law in San Francisco. After serving int he Peace Corp\, he was an ordinance drafter for the city of Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights before earning his Master of Arts from the University of Minnesota’s School of Library Science. He was appointed State Law Librarian in 1980. Anderson’s tenure as State Law Librarian spanned 22 years and included many accomplishments including the “Everybody Wins” reading program\, which paired volunteer legal practitioners with elementary school students to encourage a life-long love of reading.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Wild & Rare
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nAdam Regn Arvidson\, Wild & Rare: Tracking Endangered Species in the Upper Midwest\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nJune 11\, 2019\n6:00 pm: Prairie Tour\n7:00 pm: Presentation & Book Signing\nGibbs Farm\nFree and open to all. No reservations needed. \nJoin us prior to the presentation to tour our restored native prairie! \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. \nCompelling stories of Minnesota’s endangered species\, the landscapes that nurture them\, and the people who are discovering their secrets.What can endangered species tell us about our part of the world? What can they tell us about us? The elusive Canada lynx bears kittens in Minnesota’s northeastern woods. In the far southeastern part of the state\, the succulent Leedy’s roseroot clings to cold cliffs. On the northwestern grasslands\, the western prairie fringed orchid grows only on ancient glacial beach ridges. In the rivers of the Twin Cities metro area\, the snuffbox mussel snaps on a fish’s nose to give its larvae a temporary home. These species and fifteen others living in Minnesota are on the federal Endangered Species List. This book is an entertaining and educational journey through Minnesota’s diverse landscapes\, one wild and rare inhabitant at a time. Books will be available for purchase and signing. \nArvidson\, a talented science reporter and genial guide\, uncovers the stories of these plants and animals\, providing compelling views of the state’s northern pine forest\, deciduous forest\, and prairie landscapes. Readers learn how beach driving in Texas affects Minnesota’s northernmost bird; how ranchers feel about prairie minnows; how urban runoff affects rivers and therefore mussels; how the wolf ended up in court. Scientists\, orchid-hounds\, lawyers\, and nature lovers weigh in on the value and benefit of rare species—and their right to exist. \nAdam Regn Arvidson is a nonfiction writer and landscape architect living in Minneapolis. His work has appeared in publications ranging from Landscape Architecture Magazine to the Utne Reader to flyway: journal of writing and the environment. In 2009 he was awarded the Bradford Williams Medal for excellence in writing about landscape architecture. He has served as an editor for several publications and is the author of Greening the Landscape: Strategies for Environmentally Sound Practice.  \n2019 History Revealed Programs\n\nSee the History Revealed 2019 information page for updates and a list of programs.\nOr check our Calendar for these and other programs at the Gibbs Farm\, and more!

SUMMARY:History Revealed: The Leavenworth Expedition
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nGary Brueggemann: The Long Legacy of the Leavenworth Expedition (1819-20)\nHistory Revealed Series\nJune 27\, 2019\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nRamsey County Roseville Library\nFree and open to all. No reservations needed. \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. \nTwo hundred years ago the largest expedition to enter present-day Minnesota launched the development of an American military establishment near the meeting of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers that proved to be a great turning point in Minnesota history. Never before in history had so many non-natives in one group traveled so far up the Mississippi – more than 530 miles north of St. Louis and over 200 miles upriver from Prairie du Chien\, the northernmost settlement on the Mississippi in 1819. And never before had so many people from so many places made such a large “Cantonment” in that part of the wilderness. \nIncluded among the 128 members of this historic expedition were the first non-Indigenous women and children to enter present-day Minnesota\, and the former New York lawyer and politician and war hero who led them\, – the “polished gentleman” destined for fame but also misery – Commander Lieutenant Colonel Henry Leavenworth. The group’s adventurous story\, which included the tragic deaths of dozens of soldiers and extraordinary hardships for everyone\, is a significant chapter in Minnesota history; yet it is one of the lesser known ones remembered today – and when it is remembered its legacy is largely underappreciated and the details of the story greatly condensed. \nMinnesota historian and author Gary Brueggemann  has been extensively researching this interesting and important story and will share what he has uncovered in a special pictorial presentation. \nGary Brueggemann is a lifetime resident of St. Paul’s West 7th neighborhood\, and he credits his love of history to his father\, who inspired his son with tales about his own childhood growing up along the river below the Randolph Ave. bluff. Gary received undergraduate and graduate degrees from University Of Wisconsin – River Falls. Now retired\, in 1978 Gary developed the first-ever college accredited course on St. Paul history for Inver Hills Community College\, where he served as a history professor. \nPhoto of Colonel Henry Leavenworth\, Wikimedia Commons\, in the public domain.
