SUMMARY:History Revealed: Parks & Playgrounds Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Natalie Heneghan\, Noticing the New Deal: Parks & Playgrounds Walking Tour\n\nHistory Revealed – Tour Series\nTuesday\, August 20\n6:00-8:00 pm\nPlease RSVP by August 19\, 3:00 pm to robyn@rchs.com or 651-222-0701\, or reserve your ticket here. Link to online reservation form. \nJoin RCHS for our presentation series\, History Revealed\, featuring the best local historians\, authors and archeologists talking about a wide range of topics drawn from the heritage and traditions of Ramsey County. \nThe Twin Cities have long boasted beautiful parks\, waterfronts\, and trail systems – in no small part because of the New Deal. Workers employed through New Deal programs in the 1930s changed the shape of St. Paul & Minneapolis’ parks and trails. From stone walls to playgrounds and park shelters to beaches\, the New Deal’s imprint on our public landscape is indelible. \nOur tour will begin at East Side Freedom Library for a discussion about New Deal projects in Minnesota. Learn why parks\, trails\, and recreation were priorities for the New Deal. We’ll dig into questions of who was allowed to take part in this work\, and who was left behind. \nThen we’ll hop on a bus to explore two parks that showcase (in subtle and sometimes hidden ways) handiwork of New Deal era workers: Indian Mounds Regional Park and Phalen Regional Park. \nFinally\, learn how you can get involved in in finding and documenting New Deal projects. \nSpeaker & guide Natalie Heneghan is the Minnesota Associate for the Living New Deal\, a project to map New Deal sites all over the country. \nRCHS would like to thank the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota for their co-sponsorship of this event. \nFeatured image: A monument at Phalen Park to those CCC’ers who lost their lives on duty. Natalie Heneghan\, 2015 \nTour Cost \n$8.00 RCHS or Preservation Alliance of Minnesota Members / $10.00 General Public\nSpace is limited to 25\, reserve today!

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. So come on in and raise a toast to history and support RCHS! \nMention that you are a member\, supporter or friend of RCHS to your server\, and they will make sure that your tab is counted toward Waldmann’s support. \n \n2019 History Revealed Programs\nFor 2019 History Revealed programs\, see https://www.rchs.com/news/history-revealed-2019/ New programs are being added.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Under Ground
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nMegan Marsnik: Under Ground\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nOctober 3\, 2019\nThursday\, 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. \nLike many stories of revolution and uprising\, Under Ground has passionately-spirited\, colorful protagonists and deeply-hated antagonists. It chronicles shootouts at labor rallies\, guns transported to and from secret bunkers\, fights in brothels\, police corruption\, xenophobia\, and false imprisonment. It features a cast of historical figures including Elizabeth Gurley Flynn\, Mother Jones\, Big Bill Haywood\, and socialist presidential candidate Eugene Debs. It is about courage and consequences. But unlike most novels written about the labor movement in the U.S.\, this novel is told from the perspective of a strong\, immigrant woman\, who reminds us that there are things worth dying for\, but more importantly\, there are things to live for. \nCentering on a young woman named Katka\, a Slovenian immigrant who gets involved in the Iron Range miners’ strike of 1916\, Under Ground is the first novel that we are highlighting as part of our History Revealed series. Inspired by real people and historical events\, expertly researched\, with a strong sense of place and character\, the novel not only covers the strike of 1916\, but also labor history\, women on the Iron Range and immigration in the early 1900s. \nMegan Marsnik is the granddaughter of Slovenian immigrants\, the daughter of union activists\, and a union member herself. She was born and raised in Biwabik\, a small town on Minnesota’s Iron Range settled primarily by Eastern European and Scandinavian immigrants. Marsnik earned her MFA in writing and poetics from Naropa University in Boulder\, CO\, where she won the Jack Kerouac Award for outstanding prose. She teaches creative writing and philosophy to high school students in Minneapolis. “Under Ground\,” her debut novel\, is steeped in Minnesota history and is this year’s Star Tribune summer serial. \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!
