SUMMARY:The History of Two Historic Neighborhood Churches: Linden Hills Congregational United Church of Christ and Edina Morningside Community Church
DESCRIPTION:This program tells the story of two churches–their history\, their architecture\, and their\nneighborhoods. Linden Hills Congregational Church grew out of the Union Sunday School\, which began meeting in 1896. By 1903\, charter members had built a frame church building at 42nd and Upton designed by George H. Keith. The Linden Hills congregation later provided help to the founding members of the Morningside church as they sought meeting space. This began an enduring relationship between the two congregations each of which helped shape neighborhood life. The Edina Morningside Community Church building was designed by Harry Wild Jones. \nSuggested donation is $5 for non-members of LHHSG. An optional lunch at Hilltop Restaurant\, 5101 Arcadia Ave\, Edina\, MN 55436\, follows. RSVP on this page for lunch by Wednesday\, November 29\, or call (612) 799-5141. Everyone is welcome.

SUMMARY:Anglo-Dakota Women Straddling Cultures in the Early 19th Century
DESCRIPTION:Program presenter Dr. Jane Lamm Carroll will examine the experiences of four granddaughters of Chief Cloudman\, bicultural women who grew up near Lake Harriet; and of another Anglo-Dakota\, Daybreak Woman\, who was born and raised in a Mdewakanton band at a trading post on the Minnesota River. Compared to their peers\, how did these women of mixed parentage identify\, socialize\, and navigate language\, culture\, marriage\, family life\, and aging? Were they comfortable or at ease in the Anglo-American or the Dakota communities? \nDr. Carroll is author of the award-winning book\, Daybreak Woman: An Anglo-Dakota Life\, and professor of history and women’s studies at St. Catherine University.

SUMMARY:The Grand Meadow Chert Quarry: A Significant New Indigenous Site
DESCRIPTION:Our speaker\, Tom Trow\, is the lead archaeologist for the effort to open to the public a long-\nhidden archaeological and cultural site in Mower County\, MN. For about 400 years\, ending in\naround 1400 CE\, the Grand Meadow Chert Quarry was the most important place in southeastern\nMN and possibly the whole state\, at the time. Families and entire villages came here for the\nstone called “chert” (flint is a type of chert)\, used for everyday tools including awls\, hide scrapers\,\nspear points\, and arrowheads. Tools made from this chert have been found at sites in 52 counties\nin the state\, including Hennepin.

SUMMARY:Living New Deal / Twin Cities' Canceled Freeways with Aaron Isaacs
DESCRIPTION:During the Great Depression of the 1930s\, the federal government under President Franklin Roosevelt undertook a major investment in public infrastructure to fight unemployment and keep the economy afloat. Although it has been over 80 years since those projects were completed\, many are still in place\, functioning for what they were designed to do. Aaron Isaacs will show us sites in Minnesota. \nWe all know how I-94 and I-35W displaced African American neighborhoods. The impact on the Twin Cities could have been much more pronounced had eight other proposed urban freeways been built. Learn where they were supposed to go and how close they came to happening. \nAn optional lunch at Hilltop Restaurant (5101 Arcadia Ave.\, Edina)\, follows. Please make your lunch reservation below or call (612) 799-5141. Everyone is welcome.

SUMMARY:Prince: Places That Brought Minneapolis Music to the World
DESCRIPTION:By the time Prince was 18\, he was a fully realized and accomplished artist who could walk into the Sound 80 studio in Minneapolis’s Seward neighborhood and write\, produce\, record\, sing\, and perform all the instruments on his demo tape\, and then land a major recording contract by the time he was 19. How did the Minneapolis community he grew up in and the Great Migration which brought Prince’s ancestors to Minnesota influence his childhood and shape the artist he became?

SUMMARY:The Most Competitive Passenger Corridor: Chicago—Twin Cities
DESCRIPTION:From the 1890s to the 1960s\, the best passenger trains in North America traveled between the Twin Cities and Chicago. Until World War I\, seven railroads competed for the business. Four continued to do so after World War II. Starting in the 1930s\, the competition resulted in the Burlington’s Zephyrs\, the Milwaukee Road’s Hiawatha\, and the Chicago & North Western’s 400\, the nation’s fastest trains. Author Aaron Isaacs will tell their story\, based on his latest book. \nAn optional lunch at Hilltop Restaurant (5101 Arcadia Ave\, Edina\, MN 55436) follows the presentation. Please make your lunch reservation by RSVPing below\, or call (612) 799-5141.

SUMMARY:Ghost of a Chance with Eric Roper
DESCRIPTION:Harry and Clementine Robinson were one of a handful of Black families who owned homes more than a century ago in what is now the whitest part of Minneapolis. When Star Tribune  reporter Eric Roper moved into the same house where the Robinsons lived\, he became determined to find out who they were and what happened to them. He spent nearly five years piecing together the Robinsons’ lives through genealogy records\, old public documents\, and fascinating tidbits from articles in local Black newspapers from the 1900s. He\, with a team of other staff members and community members\, wrote a series of articles published as a special insert in the Star Tribune. In addition\, they created a six-episode podcast that takes listeners on an intimate journey into Minnesota’s past through the experiences of this one trailblazing couple.
