SUMMARY:History Revealed: When the Stones Came to Town
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nFred Case\, with Eric Dregni\, When the Stones Came to Town: Rock ‘n’ Roll Photos from the 1970s\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, February 13\, 2020\n7:45 pm\nWaldmann’s Brewery & Restaurant\nReservations requested: Reservation Form. Free 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. \nStunning images of some of the greatest musicians from rock ’n’ roll history\, including both onstage action and behind-the-scenes candids. \nPhotographer Fred Case was on the scene in the Twin Cities during the 1970s whenever the top rock and blues musicians came through town. With his camera in hand\, Case photographed such legends as Chuck Berry\, Bo Diddley\, John Mayall\, Leon Russell\, Richie Havens\, the Who\, Steppenwolf\, the Grateful Dead\, Small Faces\, Elton John\, Linda Ronstadt\, Captain Beefheart\, Alice Cooper\, Elvis Costello\, Miles Davis\, and the Rolling Stones. His images capture the stars in action onstage at storied Minneapolis venues ranging from the Guthrie to the Depot (First Avenue)\, the Labor Temple to Jay’s Longhorn\, the Minneapolis Auditorium to Parade Stadium. The photographer also hung out with many of the musicians and took behind-the-scenes snapshots of backstage antics. Case’s own wild adventures chasing his music heroes\, beginning in his teenage years\, led to many fascinating—and some questionable—experiences. \nIn When the Stones Came to Town\, Case recollects witnessing\, photographing\, and occasionally getting to know these music icons and gives readers an up-close-and-personal look at the rock ’n’ roll lifestyle. These photos\, many of them never seen before in print\, highlight the vibrant music scene of the Twin Cities during this pivotal era. \nFred Case is a longtime photographer who has shot hundreds of musicians\, traveled the world\, and rubbed elbows with the great and near-great. He lives in Minneapolis. \nEric Dregni is the author of more than fifteen books\, including Weird Minnesota\, Let’s Go Fishing\, and The Life: Vespa \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. \n2020 History Revealed Programs\n\nSee the History Revealed 2020 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: Transpacific Antiracism
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nYuichiro Onishi\, Transpacific Antiracism\, Afro-Asian Solidarity in 20th-Century Black America\, Japan\, and Okinawa\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, February 6\, 2020\n7:00 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. \nTranspacific Antiracism introduces the dynamic process out of which social movements in Black America\, Japan\, and Okinawa formed Afro-Asian solidarities against the practice of white supremacy in the twentieth century. Yuichiro Onishi argues that in the context of forging Afro-Asian solidarities\, race emerged as a political category of struggle with a distinct moral quality and vitality. \nThis book explores the work of Black intellectual-activists of the first half of the twentieth century\, including Hubert Harrison and W. E. B. Du Bois\, that took a pro-Japan stance to articulate the connection between local and global dimensions of antiracism. Turning to two places rarely seen as a part of the Black experience\, Japan and Okinawa\, the book also presents the accounts of a group of Japanese scholars shaping the Black studies movement in post-surrender Japan and multiracial coalition-building in U.S.-occupied Okinawa during the height of the Vietnam War which brought together local activists\, peace activists\, and antiracist and antiwar GIs. Together these cases of Afro-Asian solidarity make known political discourses and projects that reworked the concept of race to become a wellspring of aspiration for a new society. \nCopies of the book will be available for purchase and signing during the presentation. \nYuichiro Onishi is Assistant Professor of African American & African Studies and Asian American Studies at the University of Minnesota\, Twin Cities.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Nicholas R. Brewer
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nJulie L’Enfant\, The Celebrity Portraits of Nicholas R. Brewer\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, January 23\, 2020\n7:00 pm\nRoseville 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. \nNicholas R. Brewer (1857-1949) is a Minnesota artist best known today for his landscapes\, but in his own lifetime his wide reputation rested mainly on his portraits. He painted many prominent Minnesotans.

This presentation will focus on portraits of Joseph Jefferson\, the comic actor who played Rip Van Winkle in theaters across the world; Ignace Paderewski\, the Polish pianist and politician; and the girl who starred in a sensational movie about the Armenian Massacres of World War One\, Aurora Mardiganian. These paintings\, little known today\, show Brewer’s intimate engagement with his era’s cultural and political events. \nJulie L’Enfant is the author of seven books\, including The Gag Family: German-Bohemian Artists in America (2002)\, Pioneer Modernists: Minnesota’s First Generation of Women Artists (2011)\, both of which won Minnesota Book Awards; Other Realities: The Art of Paul S. Kramer (2013); and\, with co-author Jaden Hansen\, Persistence of Vision: The Art of Bettye Olson (2017). \nA new softcover edition of Julie’s latest book\, Nicholas R. Brewer: His Art and Family (Afton Press\, 2019)\, will be available for purchase and signing. \nImage credit: Nicholas Brewer with his portrait of actress Margaret Anglin as her character in the play In the Wilderness.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Moving Up\, Moving Out
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nDr. Will Cooley\, Moving Up\, Moving Out: The Rise of the Black Middle Class in Chicago\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, January 9\, 2020\n7:00 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. \nIn Moving Up\, Moving Out\, Will Cooley discusses the damage racism and discrimination have exacted on black Chicagoans in the twentieth century\, while accentuating the resilience of upwardly-mobile African Americans. Cooley examines how class differences created fissures in the black community and produced quandaries for black Chicagoans interested in racial welfare. While black Chicagoans engaged in collective struggles\, they also used individualistic means to secure the American Dream. Black Chicagoans demonstrated their talent and ambitions\, but they entered through the narrow gate\, and whites denied them equal opportunities in the educational institutions\, workplaces\, and neighborhoods that produced the middle class. African Americans resisted these restrictions at nearly every turn by moving up into better careers and moving out into higher-quality neighborhoods\, but their continued marginalization helped create a deeply dysfunctional city. African Americans settled in Chicago for decades\, inspired by the gains their forerunners were making in the city. Though faith in Chicago as a land of promise wavered\, the progress of the black middle class kept the city from completely falling apart. In this important study\, Cooley shows how Chicago\, in all of its glory and faults\, was held together by black dreams of advancement. Moving Up\, Moving Out will appeal to urban historians and sociologists\, scholars of African American studies\, and general readers interested in Chicago and urban history. \nWill Cooley is professor of history at Walsh University in North Canton\, Ohio. \n2020 History Revealed Programs\n\nSee the History Revealed 2020 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:Courthouse Art Project Update & Input Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join RCHS\, artists\, and community members for an update and input meeting at the East Side Freedom Library to discuss the art project for the Ramsey County Courthouse/Saint Paul City Hall Council Chambers. \nWe are in the midst of a period in which historical monuments\, markers\, and murals have become focal points of community discussions across the country. These conversations have come to the fore in Saint Paul\, and the City and County governments requested that RCHS lead an effort to add new artwork to the Council Chambers of the Saint Paul City Hall – Ramsey County Courthouse. The goals for this project include commissioning new\, original artwork that interprets the same overarching themes in the 83-year-old murals currently on display in the Council Chambers—celebrating the people and progress of Saint Paul and Ramsey County. \nFour new pieces of art are being commissioned\, with two new pieces displayed concurrently with original murals in the Council Chambers for a period of several months. The city and county will determine a rotation schedule that will ensure that each of the original murals and new pieces is exhibited over the course of a year. Interpretive panels will be added that provide additional context about the existing murals as well as each of the new pieces. Through an open application process\, twenty artists submitted proposals\, and a citizens’ task force organized by RCHS selected four artists for these projects. We invite you to meet them\, learn about their work\, and express your own perspectives about what you would like to see on the walls. Please come and share your ideas. \nOver the next five months RCHS and the Task Force will develop interpretive panels and create online materials that provide more information on the existing and new art. Additional materials will be provided that articulate the wide variety of perspectives on the existing artwork and generally how discriminatory\, controversial\, or otherwise problematic public art from the past is addressed today. As this discussion continues to unfold here and around the country\, there is value in recognizing and presenting these varied perspectives. \nFor bios of the selected artists\, and more information on the project\, see https://www.rchs.com/news/courthouse_chamber_artists/ \nFree and open to all. \n

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Closing Time
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nBill Lindeke & Andy Sturdevant\, Closing Time: Saloons\, Taverns\, Dives\, and Watering Holes of the Twin Cities\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nDecember 12\, 2019\nThursday\, 7:45 pm\nWaldmann Brewery & Wurstery\nReservations requested\, space is limited. Free and open to all.\nRegistration 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. \nAn entertaining journey into the highs\, lows\, bright spots\, and dark corners of the Twin Cities’ most famous and infamous drinking establishments—history viewed from the barstool. \nIn 1838\, a rum trader named “Pig’s Eye” Parrant built a small shack in a Mississippi bluff that became the first business in the city of St. Paul: a saloon. Since then\, bars\, taverns\, saloons\, and speakeasies have been part of the cultural\, social\, and physical landscape of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Serving as neighborhood landmarks\, sites of political engagement\, welcoming centers for immigrants\, hotbeds of criminal activity\, targets of ire from church and state alike\, and\, of course\, a place to get a drink\, the story of the taverns and saloons of the Twin Cities is the story of the cities themselves. \nIn Closing Time\, Bill Lindeke and Andy Sturdevant dive into tales from famous and infamous drinking establishments from throughout Twin Cities history. Readers are led on a multigenerational pub crawl through speakeasies\, tied houses\, rathskellers\, cocktail lounges\, gin mills\, fern bars\, social clubs\, singles bars\, gastropubs\, and dives. Featuring beloved bars like Matt’s\, Palmer’s\, the Payne Reliever\, and Moby Dick’s\, the book also resurrects memories of long-forgotten establishments cherished in their day. Lindeke and Sturdevant highlight neighborhood dives\, downtown nightspots\, and out-of-the-way hideaways\, many of which continue to thrive today. Closing Time brings together stories of these spaces and the people who frequented them. \nBooks will be available for purchase and signing at the event. \nBill Lindeke\, Ph.D.\, is an urban geographer and writer who focuses on how our environments shape our lives. He wrote MinnPost’s Cityscapes column from 2014 to 2017\, has written articles on local food and drink history for City Pages and the Growler\, and has taught urban geography at the University of Minnesota and Metro State University.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Relentless Business of Treaties
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nMartin Case\, The Relentless Business of Treaties\nThursday\, November 7\, 2019\n7:00 pm\nEast Side Freedom Library\nFree and open to all. No registration 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 “western expansion” is a familiar one: US government agents\, through duplicity and force\, persuaded Native Americans to sign treaties that gave away their rights to the land. But this framing\, argues Martin Case\, hides a deeper story. Land cession treaties were essentially the act of supplanting indigenous kinship relationships to the land with a property relationship. And property is the organizing principle upon which US society is based. \nUS signers represented the relentless interests that drove treaty making: corporate and individual profit\, political ambition\, and assimilationist assumptions of cultural superiority. The lives of these men illustrate the assumptions inherent in the property system—and the dynamics by which it spread across the continent. In this book\, for the first time\, Case provides a comprehensive study of the treaty signers\, exposing their business ties and multigenerational interrelationships through birth and marriage. Taking Minnesota as a case study\, he describes the groups that shaped US treaty making to further their own interests: interpreters\, traders\, land speculators\, bureaucrats\, officeholders\, missionaries\, and mining\, timber\, and transportation companies. \n \nMartin Case\, freelance researcher and writer\, was a key participant in the development of Why Treaties Matter\, a collaboration of the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council\, the Minnesota Humanities Center\, and the Smithsonian Institute\, published by the Minnesota Historical Society Press. \n2019 History Revealed Programs\nFor 2019 History Revealed programs\, see https://www.rchs.com/news/history-revealed-2019/\nNew programs are being added.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Streetcars-CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED: John Diers\, 1\,100 Streetcars: The Rise and Fall of the Twin City Rapid Transit Company\nWe apologize\, but the Thursday\, Oct. 24 program at the Roseville Library has been cancelled.\nHistory Revealed Series\nOctober 24\, 2019\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nRamsey County Roseville Library\nFree and open to all. \nJoin RCHS for History Revealed in 2018\, featuring the best of local history authors\, historians and archaeologists talking about a wide range of topics drawn from the heritage and traditions of Ramsey County. \nIn 1920 for a nickel fare the 1\,100 streetcars of the Twin City Rapid Transit Company carried 238 million riders on a 500-mile system that stretched from Lake Minnetonka to the St. Croix River. With over 4\,000 workers it was among the largest employers in the Twin Cities; turning a profit for its shareholders\, and regarded as among the finest street railway systems in the transit industry. Thirty-four years later it surrendered to the automobile. Its streetcars were gone\, replaced by buses—its assets looted by an unscrupulous management. From streetcars to freeways this is the story of the decline and fall of the late\, great Twin City Rapid Transit Company. \n \nJohn Diers is a writer-historian and the author of two books; Twin Cities by Trolley and St. Paul Union Depot (University of Minnesota Press) and articles on transit and transportation subjects in a number of historical and transportation journals\, among them Ramsey County History. He was with the Metropolitan Transit Commission in the Twin Cities and general manager of transit systems in Wisconsin and New York. \nThank you to the Ramsey County Roseville Library for their support of this program. \nFor more information and a list of upcoming 2019 History Revealed programs\, see the 2019 History Revealed page. \nArticle by John Diers\, The Force That Shaped the Neighborhoods: 1890–1953: Sixty-three Years of Streetcars in St. Paul and Millions of Dollars in Investments.

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!

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.

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.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Floating Bethel
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nChristine Podas-Larson\, The Floating Bethel\nHistory Revealed Series\nJuly 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. \nChristine Podas-Larson\, author of the recent article in Ramsey County History magazine\, “Eliza Edgerton Newport and St. Paul’s Floating Bethel\, 1891-1903” will talk about the history of Saint Paul’s “Floating Bethel\,” a refuge for the working poor that was docked off Sibley Street on the Mississippi. Community leader and St. Paul resident Eliza Newport was well-educated and well-connected\, and she led many charitable organizations and community efforts at the end of the 19th century. Drawn to the work of the Bethel Association\, and in conjunction with other community leaders\, Eliza developed places where the poor and transient of the city could meet\, get food\, basic needs\, and have a safe place to stay. This culminated in the Floating Bethel\, a riverboat hotel & bathhouse on the Mississippi River that served the “floating class\,” river and railroad workers and their families. Over thirteen years it provided educational\, vocational\, and religious instruction for the guests. On July 5\, 1893 the Floating Bethel had a devastating fire. The legacy of the Floating Bethel lives on today through the Bethel Hotel\, a transitional housing program for men run by Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities. \nChristine Podas-Larson will present the history of the Floating Bethel\, and the work and life of her great-grandmother\, Eliza Newport in this fascinating presentation on the early years of Saint Paul. \n\nChristine Podas-Larson is the founder of Public Art Saint Paul\, where she was the organization’s Executive Director for many years. She is also the great-granddaughter of Eliza Edgerton Newport. \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!

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. \nAuthor Greg Gaut will present his new book\, Reinventing the People’s Library\, which traces the history of the Arlington Hills Library\, one of three Carnegie Libraries in Saint Paul\, and its reinvention as the East Side Freedom Library.

Since then he has focused on historic preservation\, preparing nominations for the National Register of Historic Places and for landmark status under local preservation ordinances.
