Can History Come Alive? In Its Historic Sites, Nation Finds Its Roots
Author: Elmer L. Andersen
Elmer L. Andersen, a former governor of Minnesota, surveys historic preservation efforts in Minnesota and elsewhere. The loss of Ignatius Donnelly’s house in Nininger is contrasted with the preservation of the Alexander Ramsey House, the Oliver Kelley Farm, and other sites. He urges legislation and improved public awareness. “We must not permit any more of our heritage to be plundered and destroyed.”
