SUMMARY:"When Minnehaha Flowed with Whiskey" Spirited Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us for “a little raucous” publication celebration for Karen E. Cooper’s new book\, When Minnehaha Flowed with Whiskey: A Spirited History of the Falls. \n\nHer book examines the lost history of Minnehaha Falls—featuring dance halls\, secret saloons\, wild behavior\, lawsuits\, and plenty of whiskey. \n\nIcehouse will debut two specially crafted cocktails inspired by the book\, including a prized drink of the cognoscenti in the 19th century called . . . well you’ll have to come to the event to find out! (21+\, cash bar) \n\nMinnehaha Falls in Minneapolis has been a much-loved place for a very long time. Native people visited the Falls for millennia before 1855\, when Longfellow’s Song of Hiawatha put its “laughing waters” into the American imagination. Tourists from the cities in the East soon began arriving on new railroads to view its picturesque loveliness. And Minnehaha Regional Park is still a favorite place for walking\, biking\, and glorying in the sights and sounds of the famous waterfall. \n\nBut from the 1880s until at least 1912\, Minnehaha Falls was a scene of surprising mayhem. The waterfall was privately owned from the 1850s through 1889\, and entrepreneurs made money from hotels and concessions. Even after the area became a city park\, shady operators set up at its borders and corrupt police ran “security.” Drinking\, carousing\, sideshows\, dances that attracted unescorted women\, and general rowdiness reigned—to the dismay of the neighbors. By 1900\, social reformers began to redeem Minnehaha Park. During the struggle for control\, the self-indulgent goings-on there became more public and harder to ignore \n\nKaren E. Cooper\, a photo historian and writer\, has been collecting photographs and researching the history of Minnehaha Falls for more than two decades. Her “Raucous Ramble” tours with Hennepin History Museum were recently featured in the Star Tribune. \n\n6:30 pm Doors Open\n7:00 -8:00 pm Author Talk\n8:00 -9:00 pm Book Signing (books will be available for purchase at event) \n\nHosted by Hennepin History Museum\, Icehouse MPLS\, and Minnesota Historical Society Press.
