SUMMARY:History Revealed: Archaeological Leads
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nJeremy Nienow: Archaeological Leads and Mysteries of Ramsey County\nHistory Revealed Series\nMay 16\, 2017\nTuesday\, 7 p.m.\nRamsey County Library – Roseville\nFree and open to all. No reservations needed. \nJoin RCHS for a new series\, History Revealed\, featuring the best of local history authors talking about a wide range of topics drawn from the heritage and traditions of Ramsey County. \nThroughout the years various individuals have reported archaeological finds and sites to professors\, archaeologists\, the historical society and others. These pieces of information are typically stuffed into a folder and rarely looked at again. A few of them become “alpha sites” or site leads that archaeologists could one day explore. Join archaeologist Jeremy Nienow as he discusses the alpha sites of Ramsey County\, and a potential new program which may take a closer look at some of these. Questions\, ideas\, and leads of your own are welcome. \nDr. Jeremy Nienow is a passionate cultural resource preservation liaison\, consultant and educator\, actively pursuing new energies\, technologies and projects within local county organizations\, higher education\, and the professional heritage preservation community\, and has taught at public and private higher education institutions throughout the Twin Cities.

Stephen will be available for questions\, and to sign books. \nOne hundred fifty years ago our state offered the first volunteers to defend the Union. Every Minnesota soldier passed through historic Fort Snelling\, reactivated after it had been sold to a developer. The Fort eventually expanded to include several large camps of Native Americans\, massive stock yards\, huge warehouses\, and secure barracks for draftees before reverting to a supply depot in 1865. \nStephen Osman managed Historic Fort Snelling for over three decades and actively researches\, speaks and writes about Minnesota’s role in the Civil War and the U.S. Dakota War of 1862. Osman served with the US Army Reserve in Psychological Operations at Fort Snelling\, and has served on the boards of the Minnesota Military Museum\, the Friends of Fort Snelling\, the Twin Cities Civil War Roundtable. \nPlease join RCHS and Stephen Osman on April 20 for this fascinating discussion and book signing.

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
