SUMMARY:Bench Building
DESCRIPTION:Bench Building Project for Gibbs Farm\n\nHelp us get ready for our fall field trip season!  \nWe need at least 10 more benches before hundreds of students come each week to learn about pioneer and Dakota life in the 1800s. \nThe project will be led by a staff member and includes building\, priming and if time allows\, painting the benches. We will have all materials\, supplies and instructions. We will be using drills\, so power tool experience is helpful\, but not necessary.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Nick Coleman
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nJohn Watson Milton\, For the Good of the Order: Nick Coleman\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nNovember 30\, 2017\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nRamsey County Roseville Library\nFree and open to all. \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. \nJohn Watson Milton will present the story of Nick Coleman\, the son of Irish immigrants who was an influential Minnesota state senator in the 1960’s and 1970’s\, and had an unsuccessful run for Governor. Coleman was instrumental in changing the Minnesota legislative branch and its agenda to a more progressive and respected one\, and was also instrumental in passing many reforms\, including the “Minnesota Miracle\,” legislation that shifted the burden for public education from property taxes to a more progressive state income tax. The presentation will touch on Coleman’s work and accomplishments\, the many great leaders he worked with from both sides of the political line\, and his legacy to Minnesota\, the nation and his family. \nMilton is the author of For the Good of the Order\, Nick Coleman and the High Tide of Liberal Politics in Minnesota\, published by RCHS. Books will be available for purchase. \n \nJohn Watson Milton was born in St. Paul\, Minnesota. He graduated magna cum laude from Princeton and the Woodrow Wilson School; he also studied at the Harvard School of Business. At Princeton he was the editorial chairman of The Daily Princetonian. Milton has published a wide variety of written works\, including poetry\, essay\, recipes\, speeches and short stories. He has written numerous articles for Ramsey County History magazine\, and authored For the Good of the Order\, Nick Coleman and the High Tide of Liberal Politics in Minnesota\, published by RCHS. His biographical novel\, The Fallen Nightingale\, won two national awards for historical fiction. The author lives with his Panamanian-born wife\, Maureen Angélica Acosta\, on a small farm in Afton\, Minnesota\, where he writes and grows wine-grapes. \nAs a Princeton sophomore\, Milton received a piece of valuable advice from Nobel Laureate Ernest Hemingway\, who told him: “If you’re a writer\, you write. No matter what happened last night\, no matter how much you drank\, no matter whose bed you climbed out of in the morning\, you write. If you don’t\, you’re not a writer.” \nHistory Revealed Program Series\nPlease note that topics and speakers may change. Check the website and our Facebook page for updates.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Harold Stassen
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nSteve Werle\, The Political Rise\, Demise & Redemption of Harold E. Stassen (1907-2001)\nHistory Revealed Series\nFebruary 15\, 2018\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nRamsey County Roseville Library\nFree and open to all. \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. See our History Revealed page here for more programs\, past and future. \nIn ten unsuccessful runs at the U.S. Presidency\, Harold Stassen became infamous as a perennial candidate. But his lifetime of achievements\, as Minnesota’s “boy governor\,” as a war hero\, as a founder of the United Nations\, as a nationally prominent Republican – are now mostly forgotten. Steve Werle will re-introduce us to Harold Stassen\, his life\, and his legacy in this presentation. Copies of Steve’s book on Harold Stassen\, “Stassen Again” will be available for purchase and for signing. \nDuring a lifetime devoted to public service\, Governor Harold Stassen left an indelible mark upon American politics. He first gained national prominence in the 1930s by revitalizing Minnesota’s Republican Party and establishing a progressive\, cooperative approach to state government. Although his numerous achievements are often obscured by his seemingly relentless quest to become president\, Stassen contributed greatly to the cause of international peace following World War II. Mr. Werle will lead participants in an engaging and entertaining walk down memory lane as he explores Stassen’s political journey with candid\, comic\, and original insights. \nSteve Werle was born and raised in Rochester\, Minnesota and teaches Advanced Placement United States History in the Twin Cities. He graduated from the University of Minnesota-Duluth in 1994 with a B.A.A. in Teaching Secondary Social Studies and earned a master’s degree from the same institution in 1999. He has taught a variety of high school history courses for over twenty years and also serves (pun totally intended) as a varsity tennis coach. Each summer Werle bakes thousands of Sweet Martha’s Cookies at the Minnesota State Fair. \nMr. Werle is the author of An American Gothic: The Life & Times & Legacy of William Gates LeDuc. His most recent book\, Stassen Again\, was published by the Minnesota Historical Society Press in 2015 and is available wherever books are sold. Werle lives in Minneapolis with his wife Colleen and their three sons. \nImage of Harold Stassen from The Ladies Home Journal\, c. 1948. Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons. Caption on photo reads in part: “Stassen doffs his size 77s hat and wades into the Presidential campaign with a smile at least as big.” \n  \nThank you to the Ramsey County Roseville Library for their support of this program. \nHistory Revealed Presentations\nScheduled 2018 History Revealed Programs\nCheck back for updates!\nClick on the titles for more information.\nPlease note that topics and speakers may change.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Booth Hospital
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nKim Heikkila\, To Bear the Mark: Unwed Motherhood at the Salvation Army’s Booth Memorial Hospital\, 1913-1973 (or\, History\, My Mother\, and Me)\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nMarch 22\, 2018\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nRamsey County Roseville Library\nFree and open to all. \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. \nFor 75 years\, the Salvation Army in St. Paul operated a maternity home and hospital for unwed mothers. Booth Memorial Hospital housed thousands of young women who sought refuge – sometimes willingly\, sometimes not — from the public censure that their status usually elicited. In the early twentieth century\, mothers were encouraged to keep and raise their babies\, but after World War II\, public and expert opinion suggested that surrendering these “illegitimate” babies for adoption was the best solution – for mother\, baby\, and a deserving couple facing infertility. By the 1960s\, at the peak of the maternity home movement\, approximately 70% of single mothers at Booth relinquished their children for adoption. \nDr. Kim Heikkila’s mother was one of these women; she delivered her first daughter\, Dr. Heikkila’s half-sister\, at Booth in 1961\, surrendered her for adoption\, and kept the whole experience a secret for 33 years\, until that daughter found her long-lost birth mother. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Heikkila will explore the intersection of her mother’s story with the history of Booth Memorial Hospital and the experiences of seven former “Booth girls” with whom she conducted oral history interviews. \n  \n \nKim Heikkila has a doctorate in American Studies\, with a minor in Feminist Studies\, from the University of Minnesota. She has written about Booth Memorial Hospital for Ramsey County History and Minnesota History\, and has published several personal essays about her mother’s experiences as a birth mother and her own as an adoptive mother. She recently completed an oral history project with former Booth residents\, staff\, and related personnel\, which was sponsored by the Minnesota Independent Scholars Forum with funding from a Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage grant. Her first book\, Sisterhood of War: Minnesota Women in Vietnam (Minnesota Historical Society Press\, 2011)\, was a finalist for a 2012 Minnesota Book Award. She taught U.S. and women’s history at local colleges and universities for more than 10 years before leaving academia to open her own oral history consulting business\, Spotlight Oral History. \nThank you to the Ramsey County Roseville Library for their support of this program. \nHistory Revealed Presentations\nScheduled 2018 History Revealed Programs\nCheck back for updates! \nClick on the titles for more information.\nPlease note that topics and speakers may change.
