SUMMARY:Strengthening Community Through Historic Preservation
DESCRIPTION:May is Historic Preservation Month! The 2024 Preservation Month theme is “People Saving Places” to shine the spotlight on everyone doing the work of saving places—in ways big and small. To recognize Preservation Month\, the Nicollet County Historical Society is hosting a presentation by Michael Koop from the State Historic Preservation Office on Thursday\, May 16\, at 6:00 p.m.\, entitled “Strengthening Community Through Historic Preservation.” Historic preservation involves: \n\nRecognizing places from our past that are important to the American people.\nCaring for them.\nUsing them to enrich our lives.\n\nThese special places reveal every aspect of our country’s origins and development. Historic places help us understand who we are and the meaning of our accomplishments and shortcomings. Preservation\, above all\, protects and maintains our past for future generations. Efforts to conserve historic resources are founded on the involvement of many individuals and organizations\, including our local community. The real action in historic preservation is at the local level since the results of survey\, planning\, and evaluation work must be integrated into other broad planning efforts. Hear about the variety of work done by Minnesota’s Heritage Preservation Commissions to create a range of tools to educate and reach people and to help conserve important historic properties across the state.

SUMMARY:Film Series | Leave it to Beavers
DESCRIPTION:A growing number of scientists\, conservationists\, and grass-roots environmentalists have come to regard beavers as overlooked tools when it comes to reversing the disastrous effects of global warming and worldwide water shortages. Once valued for their fur or hunted as pests\, these industrious rodents are seen in a new light through the eyes of this novel assembly of beaver enthusiasts and “employers” who reveal the ways in which the presence of beavers can transform and revive landscapes. Using their skills as natural builders and brilliant hydro-engineers\, beavers are being recruited to accomplish everything from finding water in a bone-dry desert to recharging water tables and coaxing life back into damaged lands. 60 minutes. NR. \n<<WATCH THE PREVIEW>> \nThe Nicollet County Historical Society and Saint Peter Community and Family Education present our fifteenth season of documentary films! The public is welcome to join us for these free films at the Treaty Site History Center.

Hosted by sports icon and champion of equality Billie Jean King\, the film weaves together the first-hand stories of eight icons to discuss how Title IX and their own achievements forever changed the course of women’s sports. \nThe interviews pair an athlete at the top of her game today with an athlete whose achievements helped pave the way for those who followed.

Groundbreakers celebrates the advancements of women in sports and society\, while also revealing the generational mentorship and community building that has fueled the progress made alongside the ongoing pursuit of equality for women everywhere. \n1h 55 min.

SUMMARY:Film Series | War of the Worlds
DESCRIPTION:WE INTERRUPT OUR PROGRAM TO BRING YOU A SPECIAL BULLETIN…\n\nFilm Description\nShortly after 8 p.m. on Halloween Eve\, 1938\, the voice of a panicked radio announcer broke in with a news bulletin reporting strange explosions taking place on the planet Mars\, followed minutes later by a report that Martians had landed in the tiny town of Grovers Mill\, New Jersey. Although most listeners understood that the program was a radio drama\, the next day’s headlines reported that thousands of others plunged into panic\, convinced that America was under a deadly Martian attack. It turned out to be H.G. Wells’ classic The War of the Worlds\, performed by 23-year-old Orson Welles. \nFeaturing interviews with film director and cinema historian Peter Bogdanovich\, Welles’s daughter Chris Welles Feder\, and other authors and experts\, as well as dramatizations of some of the thousands of letters sent to Welles by an alternately admiring and furious public\, War of the Worlds explores how Welles’s ingenious use of the new medium of radio struck fear into an already anxious nation. \n<<WATCH THE TRAILER>> \nThe Nicollet County Historical Society and Saint Peter Community and Family Education present our fifteenth season of documentary films!

SUMMARY:Film Series | JFK & LBJ: A Time for Greatness
DESCRIPTION:In many ways\, President Lyndon B. Johnson was the most unlikely champion of Civil Rights. But his actions in the White House told a different story when he dared to champion two laws that changed America and the world – the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Now\, fifty years later\, JFK & LBJ: A Time for Greatness sheds light on the fascinating story of a president who knew how to harness the nation’s grief over John F. Kennedy’s assassination\, twist arms\, and get his way. The film includes rarely-seen footage\, secret White House tapes\, and personal testimony from LBJ’s advisors\, biographers\, friends\, and family.\n60 min.\, NR. \n<<WATCH THE TRAILER>> \nThe Nicollet County Historical Society and Saint Peter Community and Family Education present our fifteenth season of documentary films!

SUMMARY:SHADOWS AT THE CROSSING: SPIRITS OF OLD TRAVERSE DES SIOUX
DESCRIPTION:Step back in time to the mid-1800s and embark on a captivating journey through the annals of Minnesota Territory’s history with “Shadows at the Crossing: Spirits of Old Traverse des Sioux.” This outdoor lantern-lit tour is a unique\, immersive experience that brings the past to life\, transporting you to a pivotal moment in the region’s history. \nTraverse des Sioux has a rich and complex history that spans centuries. Once a crucial gathering spot for Native Americans\, it offered a shallow river crossing and abundant plains for hunting and trading. However\, the signing of the 1851 Treaty of Traverse des Sioux led to the forced relocation of the Dakota people and the town’s transformation into a settlement. Although it briefly thrived\, the establishment of a county seat in nearby St. Peter caused its decline. Today\, little remains of this once-bustling town. \nJoin us for “Shadows at the Crossing: Spirits of Old Traverse des Sioux\,” a lantern-lit guided tour that brings the history of the town to life. Meet five inhabitants from the pivotal era and hear their stories of courage\, resilience\, conflict\, and cooperation.

SUMMARY:Film Series | Ruthless - Monopoly’s Secret History
DESCRIPTION:For generations\, Monopoly has been America’s favorite board game\, a love letter to unbridled capitalism and — for better or worse — the impulses that make our free-market society tick. But behind the myth of the game’s creation is an untold tale of theft\, obsession\, and corporate double-dealing. Contrary to the folksy legend spread by Parker Brothers\, Monopoly’s secret history is a surprising saga that features a radical feminist\, a community of Quakers in Atlantic City\, America’s greatest game company\, and an unemployed Depression-era engineer. And the real story behind the creation of the game might never have come to light if it weren’t for the determination of an economics professor and impassioned anti-monopolist. \nPart detective story\, part sharp social commentary\, and part pop-culture celebration\, Ruthless: Monopoly’s Secret History presents the fascinating true story behind America’s favorite game. \n\n\n\n75 min.\, NR. \n<<Watch the trailer >>\n——-\nThe Nicollet County Historical Society and Saint Peter Community and Family Education present our fifteenth season of documentary films!

SUMMARY:The Grange: A Fraternity of Farmers that Championed Rural America
DESCRIPTION:Join us as agricultural historian T.J. Malaskee delves into the long-forgotten history of America’s first fraternity of farmers\, the Grange. The Grange was a radical post-Civil War Era movement that pushed for progressive measures to heal the nation through agriculture\, education\, equality\, and social interaction as the United States saw growing tension between western rural farmers and eastern urban industrialists. The Grange—more formally known as the Patrons of Husbandry—was founded by Minnesota Farmer Oliver H. Kelley in 1867\, and the rural movement took off here in his home state\, eventually reaching a membership of over one million men and women across the country. Find out more about this intriguing history and learn how the Grange has played a role in your life today! \nThe presentation will take place on September 7 at 2:00 p.m. \nAdmission is $10 per adult\, $7 per member\, and $5 per child.
