SUMMARY:ABCFM Dakota and Ojibwe Missions in the 1830s: How similar were they?
DESCRIPTION:In the 1830s Boston’s American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) made a major Protestant outreach to Native Americans. Ironically\, it approved Rev. Jedediah D. Stevens’ plan for a mission with Chief Maȟpíya Wičhášta (Cloudman) and his Ȟeyáta Othuŋwe village (at Bde Maka Ska) after laymen Samuel and Gideon Pond had already begun an independent Dakota mission. \nTo give us perspective on Stevens and the Pond brothers\, Linda Bryan will present a geographic timeline overview of the ABCFM’s various Dakota missions and will compare it to the ABCFM’s Ojibwe missions in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Linda is a former social studies teacher who volunteers at historic sites. \nSuggested donation is $5 for non-members of LHHSG. Everyone is welcome.

SUMMARY:Cottage City Transitions – walking tour with Peter Sussman
DESCRIPTION:Since 1883 Cottage City has experienced on-going transition. From the beginning\, modest lake cottages built on small lots south of Bde Maka Ska have been replaced by bigger homes. Our tour will recall the initial community and consider the twin impacts of evolving design styles and recent larger-scale buildings.    \nWe will meet at the southeast corner of Thomas Avenue South and West Bde Maka Ska Parkway.\nThe tour will be held rain or shine — except if an electrical storm is forecasted the morning of the tour. \nSuggested donation at the walking tour will be $5 for non-members of LHHSG.    \nRegister for one of the two tours. Attendance is limited to 25.

SUMMARY:Places in the Park: St. Louis Park presented by Bill Beyer
DESCRIPTION:Named by real estate speculators\, shaped by railroads\, and the subject of a huge social experiment by one of the world’s richest men\, St. Louis Park has stories to tell.

SUMMARY:[VIRTUAL] Saving St. Anthony Falls
DESCRIPTION:In 1876\, the Corps of Engineers finished a massive concrete wall under the Mississippi River at St. Anthony Falls. It stands three stories tall and spans the river. It is an essential piece of Twin Cities infrastructure that no one can see and few know exists. It safeguards Minneapolis’ water supply and helps ensure the river doesn’t undermine bridges or other infrastructure. No one has inspected it for 145 years and no one accepts ownership.  How much longer will it last? Retired Park Superintendent John Anfinson of the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area will share his concerns for this critical piece of our local infrastructure. \nUpdate: Due to COVID-19 restrictions\, this talk will be held exclusively on Zoom. E-mail contact@lindenhillshistory.org for further information.

SUMMARY:[VIRTUAL] George Elmslie: In the Shadow of Louis Sullivan
DESCRIPTION:Join the Linden Hills History Study Group to hear Richard Kronick tell the story of George Elmslie\, chief draftsman from 1895 to 1909 for Louis Sullivan\, Chicago’s leading architect. Sullivan was dubbed “Prophet of Modernism\,” but Richard will show that\, for eight well-known buildings that came out of Sullivan’s office\, most of the credit belongs to George Elmslie. After leaving Sullivan in 1910\, Elmslie moved to Minnesota and joined the practice of William Purcell and George Feick\, Jr. Meanwhile\, as Sullivan’s fame grew\, Elmslie’s contribution became an inconvenient truth and was nearly erased from history.  \nWe will host Richard’s talk virtually through Zoom. We will send all who are on the LHHSG email list a link to join the Zoom session for December 7 at 7:00 p.m. If we do not have your email address\, please call 612-926-0646 or email contact@lindenhillshistory.org so that you can participate. \nRichard will present this talk in the 1911 Oscar and Katherine Owre house in Minneapolis\, designed by Purcell\, Feick & Elmslie\, and the presentation will include a brief tour of the house. \nAll are welcome.

SUMMARY:[VIRTUAL] Antisemitism in Minneapolis
DESCRIPTION:Minneapolis Jews\, like their African-American and Japanese-American fellow residents\, faced serious discrimination and social exclusion in employment\, housing\, and some public accommodations. Indeed\, one of the leading investigative journalists and essayists of the era\, Carey McWilliams\, noted in his Common Ground article “Minneapolis: The Curious Twin” (Autumn 1946)\, “One might even say\, with a measure of justification\, that Minneapolis is the capitol [sic] of anti-Semitism in the United States.” In the next year\, led by Mayor Hubert Humphrey and a wide coalition of groups\, the City Council passed among the first open housing and fair employment ordinances in the country. Steve Hunegs\, Executive Director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas\, will help us understand the history of antisemitism in Minneapolis. \nWe will host Steve’s talk virtually through Google Meet. We will send all who are on the LHHSG email list a link to join the Google Meet session for November 5 at 7:00 p.m. If we do not have your email address\, please call 612-926-0646 or email contact@lindenhillshistory.org and give us the email address where you’d like the Google Meet link to be sent\, so that you can participate.\nEveryone is welcome.

SUMMARY:Women's Right to Vote with a Minneapolis Perspective
DESCRIPTION:In 1919\, the Minnesota Legislature recognized women’s right to vote in presidential elections. And in 1920\, after the U.S. Legislature passed the 19th Amendment and two-thirds of the states ratified the amendment\, women gained the right to vote. This right to vote took decades of discussion\, protest\, and persuasion. Historian Linda Lounsbury will examine the Women’s Suffrage Movement\, the Women’s Right to Vote focusing on the local scene\, and leaders including Linden Hills’ Clara Ueland.

SUMMARY:[VIRTUAL] Walking Tour: Third Wave of Linden Hills Development
DESCRIPTION:We are in a new era in which any property in the neighborhood is a potential site for new construction\, up to three units per lot. We will view recently-built examples alongside houses from the late 19th century through what was presumed to be the full “build-out” of Linden Hills in the 20th century. What has influenced development and how has the neighborhood’s character evolved? First Wave was initial land claims\, development schemes\, and early residents through self-identity as a community ca. 1902. Second Wave was the subsequently built community described in the 2001 book Down at the Lake. Third Wave precursors overlapped the late Second Wave: Infill of last open lots\, initial tear-downs introducing disparate styles\, and businesses less\nconnected to serving the immediate community. \nThis talk will be conducted via Google Meet.
