The familiar trees\, hills\, and rivers look ordinary to us. Perhaps we forget\, or have never considered\, that this landscape has a story to tell. This very place on Earth (and every other place) has experienced 4.6 billion years of time! To a geologist\, the landscape and the material beneath it tell us about the ancient processes that formed it. \nEight thousand years ago\, St. Peter was the site of a raging river\, draining a giant lake near present-day Moorhead. Fifteen thousand years ago\, our town was covered by a mile-thick ice sheet. One hundred million years ago\, dinosaurs wandered through unfamiliar forests. And five hundred million years ago\, St. Peter was a tropical paradise covered by a warm\, clear ocean. How do we know? Each of these time intervals left behind geologic evidence – rocks that formed in the geologic past and that reflect the conditions of the time. \nThis presentation will introduce participants to St. Peter’s geologic history through the lens of geologic maps. You’ll learn how maps help us reconstruct the past and how they help us locate natural resources. Finally\, you’ll learn about some places nearby that reveal the evidence of our geologic past. \nAbout the presenter: Dr. Julie Bartley is a Professor and Co-chair in Environmental Geography and Earth sciences at Gustavus Adolphus College. She teaches Geology\, Environmental Studies\, and Geography. She holds an A.B. in Chemistry from Bryn Mawr College and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Geology from UCLA.

Simon journeys to the Austrian village of Oberndorf as well as the city of Salzburg\, where the story of the world’s favorite carol had its origins. The First Silent Night introduces us to two impoverished children – Joseph Mohr and Franz Gruber – who grew up in Austria’s cobbled streets and wooded villages. The hard years that shaped them would also destine them to meet one day in a poor country church to unite Gruber’s music and Mohr’s text into this classic carol about the birth of a third poor boy on a quiet night in ancient Palestine. \nThe film’s runtime is 60 minutes. \nThe Nicollet County Historical Society and Saint Peter Community and Family Education present our latest lineup of documentary films!

Free of restraint or oversight\, he conducted a crusade against those he accused of being Communists and enemies of the state\, a chilling campaign marked by groundless accusations\, bullying intimidation\, grandiose showmanship\, and cruel victimization. Finally\, after years in the headlines\, he was brought down by his own excesses and overreach. He died a broken man\, but his name lived on. For more than half a century\, it has been linked to an all-too-familiar phenomenon\, the modern-day witch hunt we call McCarthyism. \nThe film’s runtime is 120 minutes \nTrailer: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/mccarthy/#part01 \nThe Nicollet County Historical Society and Saint Peter Community and Family Education present our fall lineup of documentary films!

Originating in underground Black and gay clubs\, disco had unseated rock as America’s most popular music by the late 1970s. But many diehard rock fans viewed disco\, with its repetitive beat and culture that emphasized pleasure\, as shallow and superficial. A story that’s about much more than music\, The War on Disco explores how the powerful anti-disco backlash revealed a cultural divide that to some seemed to be driven by racism and homophobia. The hostility came to a head on July 12\, 1979\, when a riot broke out at “Disco Demolition Night” during a baseball game in Chicago. \nThe film’s runtime is 60 min. \nTrailer: https://www.pbs.org/…/americ…/features/war-disco-teaser/ \nThe Nicollet County Historical Society and Saint Peter Community and Family Education present our fall lineup of documentary films! The public is welcome to join us for these free films at the Treaty Site History Center.
