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!

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Tracing Teddy Roosevelt
DESCRIPTION:Special Event \nJames Blase\, Tracing TR’s 1903 Train Trip Tour: Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of Theodore Roosevelt’s Death in 1919\nHistory Revealed Series\nJuly 14\nSunday\, 2:30-4:00 pm\nLandmark Center\n\nPresentation & Book Signing: Keep it for Your Children: Theodore Roosevelt’s 1903 Western Trip\nReservations requested – see the page here or call the office at 651-222-0701. 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. \nAs part of his “Tracing TR’s 1903 Train Trip Tour\,” author James Blase will be presenting the history of Teddy Roosevelt’s train trip throughout the country in the spring of 1903\, one that culminated in a stop at the Grand Canyon. Blase’s new book\, Keep it for Your Children: Theodore Roosevelt’s 1903 Western Trip\, creates a first-person journal of a 66-day western train trip the President made during his first term in office\, in 1903 – a year after the Landmark Center first opened its doors. The train trip included a stop in Saint Paul\, where Theodore Roosevelt arrived by train at 2:30 pm on April 4\, 1903\, and where the President spoke to a crowd estimated at approximately 50\,000 outside the Cedar Street side of the State Capitol. Late in the afternoon the President travelled to Minneapolis\, where he attended a banquet and made a speech at the Nicolette Hotel. \nJim Blase’s presentation\, complete with photos\, will cover the entire 66-day trip\, but he will be emphasizing the President’s stops in Saint Paul and Minneapolis. The presentation is being made in conjunction with a two-week Amtrak western “loop tour” train trip Jim Blase will be making\, beginning in St Louis Missouri (the “Gateway to the West”) on July 1\, and continuing through New Mexico\, the Grand Canyon\, Southern California\, Oregon\, Montana\, North Dakota and Minnesota\, culminating back in St. Louis. The tour’s route mirrors much of the President’s in 1903. \n \nSigned copies of Keep it for Your Children: Theodore Roosevelt’s 1903 Western Trip\, Blase’s 390-page book\, the title of which derives from the President’s May 6\, 1903 speech at the Grand Canyon\, will be available at a discounted price. \nReservations requested – see the page here or call the RCHS office at 651-222-0701. Space is limited. \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: Downtown St. Paul
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nHistory Revealed: A Toast to History at Waldmann Brewery & Wurstery\n\n\n\nIrik Nathanson: Downtown St. Paul\nThursday\, April 11\, 2019\n7:45 pm (note new time)\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. \n\nMinnesota’s capital city was given a lofty identity when young Catholic priest Lucien Gaultier built a modest log chapel in a wilderness clearing and named it for his patron saint. St. Paul’s modern downtown would later take shape at this very site. In the mid-19th century\, St. Paul’s strategic location at the head of navigation on the Mississippi River was naturally suited as a way station for goods and a hub for settlers pouring into the Upper Midwest. While St. Paul had to relinquish its ranking as Minnesota’s largest city to its twin\, Minneapolis\, the city remains at the center of state politics as Minnesota’s state capital. Following World War II\, a suburban boom weakened the business district\, and downtown St. Paul fell into decline. Over the last 40 years\, however\, St. Paul’s downtown has been reinvented as a major sports\, entertainment\, and cultural center. \nIric Nathanson tells the story of this resilient urban district\, stretching over two centuries\, using images from local archives like the Minnesota Historical Society and the Hennepin County Public Library Special Collections. Nathanson’s most recent work includes The Minneapolis Riverfront and Downtown Minneapolis\, both in the Image of America series. \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.

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.

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.

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: 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: 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.

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: Modern Bonds
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nElizabeth Duclos-Orsello\, Modern Bonds: Redefining Community in Early 20th C Saint Paul\nTuesday\, March 12\, 2019\n7:00 pm\nEast Side Freedom Library\nIf you missed the presentation\, you can watch it at the following links:\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/EastSideFreedomLibrary/videos/601328617047594/\nYouTube (somewhat better quality): https://youtu.be/MSZaVKkHuEw \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. \nWhat does “community” mean and how did it come to signify everything from close friends to the entire world? Elizabeth Duclos-Orsello returns to St. Paul to talk about her new book\,  Modern Bonds: Redefining Community in Early Twentieth Century St. Paul\,  which considers how community was reconceptualized in the first decades of the twentieth century. Using St. Paul as an example\, she mines a wide range of materials to show how everyday practices and materials — fiction\, photography\, architecture\, public parks\, the winter carnivals — unite and divide citizens across lines of gender\, class\, and race\, while remaking the definition of “community.” Duclos-Orsello makes sense of the complex set of activities\, policies and practices that not only gave birth to modern America but continue to shape life today.  In this interactive lecture/discussion she will share key ideas and examples from the book with the goal of opening up conversations and motivating action in the here and now as much as offering a new synthesis of cultural\, social and intellectual history of the early 20th century. \nCopies of the book will be available for purchase and signing. \nElizabeth Ann Duclos-Orsello is professor and chair of interdisciplinary studies and coordinator of American studies at Salem State University.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: The Case of Ed Phelan
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nHistory Revealed: A Toast to History at Waldmann Series\nThursday\, January 10\, 2019\nGary Bruggeman\, Minnesota’s Oldest Murder Mystery\, the Case of Ed Phelan\nWaldmann Brewery & Wurstery\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. \nOn September 27\, 1839\, the battered body of a middle-aged Irishman was found by some Dakota boys washed up along the Mississippi River shore. It was the body of Sgt. John Hays\, a popular former soldier\, who\, prior to his disappearance twenty-one days earlier\, had been sharing a log shanty a few miles upriver from the cave with his friend and business partner\, Edward Phelan (or Phalen). Before the year was over\, Phelan was arrested and charged with the murder of his friend. \nThis is the first book to focus on this historic murder and the first thorough biography of Phelan\, a notorious pioneer intimately involved in the making of St. Paul and founding of Minnesota. Was he guilty? All reports and records of Phelan’s trial were mysteriously lost and no newspapers covered the story. However\, in 1994\, St. Paul historian Gary Brueggemann made an amazing discovery in the Minnesota Historical Society archives – hidden in the papers of Joseph R. Brown was his handwritten transcription of the Hays’ murder hearing. \nUsing this record\, other primary sources\, and drawing from decades of studying Minnesota and St. Paul history\, Gary Bruggeman will present the case of Ed Phelan and his trial for the murder of John Hays. \nRegistration is needed to attend presentations. Space is limited\, first-come\, first served. \nThe presentation is currently FULL.\nTo be added to the waiting list\, please 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 \nHistory Revealed: A Toast to History at Waldmann Series\nWaldmann Brewery & Wurstery\n2018 History Revealed Programs\n\nSee the History Revealed information 2019 page for updates and programs for 2019.\nOr check our Calendar for these and other programs at the Gibbs Farm\, and more!
