Former NCHS Research Coordinator and longtime volunteer Bob Sandeen will take us on a journey through time using some of our most valuable historical resources: maps.\nFrom county atlases to plat books\, these documents don’t just chart the land—they tell the stories of the people who lived and worked there. Since 1885\, Nicollet County maps have helped historians trace farm boundaries\, identify landowners\, and uncover hidden connections between the past and present. Without them\, our research would be far more challenging.\n\nThe meeting is open to the public. There is no cost to attend. Light refreshments will be provided.\n\nBusiness Meeting Information URL:https://www.nchsmn.org/event/annual-meeting/ LOCATION:Nicollet County Historical Society – Treaty Site History Center\, 1851 N.

That quiet act of warning helped set the American Revolution in motion. \nOn April 18\, 2025\, 250 years later\, the Nicollet County Historical Society will hang two lanterns in our window as part of Two Lights for Tomorrow\, a national initiative marking the start of the United States’ 250th anniversary commemoration. \nWe hang these lanterns not just to remember the past\, but to reflect on the values that brought this nation into being—ideals of liberty\, community\, and courage. In times of uncertainty\, remembering where we come from can help light the way forward. \nWe invite you to join us. Place two lights in your window tonight—lanterns\, candles\, flashlights—any visible symbol of reflection and hope. Together\, we can honor the past and recommit to building a better tomorrow. \nLearn more at america250.org URL:https://www.nchsmn.org/event/two-lights-for-tomorrow/ LOCATION:MN CATEGORIES:Notice ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.nchsmn.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/WEB-EVENTS-TLFT.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250422T091500 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250422T213500 DTSTAMP:20260428T144253 CREATED:20240826T183018Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240826T184625Z UID:10000333-1745313300-1745357700@www.nchsmn.org SUMMARY:Community Affairs on KNUJ Radio DESCRIPTION:Make sure to mark your calendar to listen to KNUJ Radio on the fourth Tuesday of every month (except December) at 9:15 am for Community Affairs.
