SUMMARY:Grave Matters: The Story of a City as Told Through its Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:The story of a city is the story of its people. However\, the stories of ordinary people — people who are marginalized\, people who are neither rich\, powerful\, influential\, or famous — these stories tend to get left out of history books and are often forgotten even by their descendants. In south Minneapolis\, there exists a community of just such forgotten and overlooked individuals — all of them deceased. This is Pioneer & Soldiers Memorial Cemetery\, the oldest cemetery in Minneapolis and the final resting place for over 22\,000 average citizens buried between 1853 and 1919. \nThe life stories of this cemetery’s occupants provide a fascinating and diverse cross-section of Minneapolis history from the city’s founding until its emergence as a major metropolis. Join Alex Weston from  Hennepin History Museum for this guided walking tour that will highlight forgotten individuals in order to reconstruct a history of Minneapolis from the ground up via the lives of its everyday residents. \nContent Warning: this tour deals with sensitive topics including death\, depression\, infant and maternal mortality\, poverty\, racism and racial violence\, slavery\, suicide\, and war.  \nAccessibility: The tour will consist of approximately 90 minutes of walking. Although there are no hills or inclines\, the cemetery ground is fairly bumpy and uneven and may not be accessible to all. Please wear appropriate footwear. \nHHM Members: When registering\, log in to your member account for access to discounted member tickets. Email membership@hennepinhistory.org with questions. Not yet a member? Join today!  \nHennepin History Museum Walking Tour Policies:   \n\nWeather: Outdoor walking tours will proceed rain or shine unless there is lightning in the area   \n\n\nPets: Nonservice animals prohibited.   \n\n\nTobacco use: Tobacco products or vaping prohibited.  \n\n\nRefunds: Cancellations made more than 24 hours prior to the walking tour are eligible for a refund (minus processing charges) or may be exchanged for another tour. Cancellations received within 24 hours of departure\, no shows\, or late arrivals are not eligible for refunds or exchanges.

SUMMARY:A Raucous Ramble Around Minnehaha Falls
DESCRIPTION:The history of Minnehaha Falls includes dance halls\, secret saloons\, wild behavior\, lawsuits\, and whiskey. Join us for a one-mile walk where the mayhem occurred: crooks\, landowners\, hoteliers\, and saloon owners went to the Falls to turn a profit or to raise a little ruckus.  \nKaren Cooper\, whose work ‘When Minnehaha Flowed with Whiskey: A Spirited History of the Falls’ won the 2023 Minnesota Book Award for Nonfiction\, gives participants further background on the people and places that shape this remarkable story. Through colorful anecdotes and thorough documentation\, she helps us picture the Minnehaha Falls area in a new light\, and helps us understand how this history formed the park we know and love today.  \nThis tour begins at the picnic table in front of the Longfellow House\, 4800 S Minnehaha Dr\, Minneapolis\, and is approximately one mile on uneven ground. Please wear comfortable shoes\, bring sunscreen/protective clothing\, dress for the weather\, and bring your own water to stay hydrated.

SUMMARY:Dakota Plant Walk with Tanaǧidaŋ To Wiŋ
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: This event was originally set to occur on May 4th. Priority will be given to those registered to attend the original event.×The history of the Twin Cities is deeply rooted in its lands and waters. Join us for a walk with Tanaǧidaŋ To Wiŋ (Blue Hummingbird Woman or Tara Perron) to learn about her family’s relationship with Dakota plant medicines. She will demonstrate how to identify and care for native plants\, including those that improve water quality. Together we will share and honor the sacred plant nation. \nTanaǧidaŋ To Wiŋ is a Dakota and Ojibwe mother\, author\, and plant medicine enthusiast. She is also a Water Protector who upholds the traditions of her relative\, Háza Íŋyaŋke Wiŋ (Woman Who Runs for Huckleberries or Betsey St. Clair). In the mid-1800s\, Háza Íŋyaŋke Wiŋ cared for plant medicines that grew along Hahá Wakpá (the Mississippi River). She also operated a canoe service to carry people across the river.

SUMMARY:A Raucous Ramble Around Minnehaha Falls
DESCRIPTION:The history of Minnehaha Falls includes dance halls\, secret saloons\, wild behavior\, lawsuits\, and whiskey. Join us for a one-mile walk where the mayhem occurred: crooks\, landowners\, hoteliers\, and saloon owners went to the Falls to turn a profit or to raise a little ruckus.  \nKaren Cooper\, whose work When Minnehaha Flowed with Whiskey: A Spirited History of the Falls won the 2023 Minnesota Book Award for Nonfiction\, gives participants further background on the people and places that shape this remarkable story. Through colorful anecdotes and thorough documentation\, she helps us picture the Minnehaha Falls area in a new light\, and helps us understand how this history formed the park we know and love today.  \nThis tour begins at the picnic table in front of the Longfellow House\, 4800 S Minnehaha Dr\, Minneapolis\, and is approximately one mile on uneven ground. Please wear comfortable shoes\, bring sunscreen/protective clothing\, dress for the weather\, and bring your own water to stay hydrated. Please register in advance.  \nHennepin History Museum Members: Log in to your member account for access to $10 tickets. Email membership@hennepinhistory.org with questions. Not yet a member?

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a pair of new walking tours in collaboration with the St. Louis Park Historical Society shining a light on the fascinating undercity of St. Louis Park! \nThe first tour\, "St. Louis Park Walking Tour: Skunk Hollow\," will happen on Tuesday\, July 8th\, at 5pm. It will explore "Skunk Hollow\," (the historical name for the Oxford Industrial district) and uncover a history every bit as colorful as the area's nickname. We'll learn about St. Louis Park's first industry — the ill-fated Globe Mill — and consider how the adjacent wetlands influenced development. \nIt will be followed on Sunday\, July 13th\, at 1:00pm by "St. Louis Park Walking Tour: The Great Swamp\," exploring the northern side of the area once known as "The Great Swamp." We'll learn how Thomas B. Walker's vision for industry enjoyed a promising launch in 1890\, only to be scuttled by the Panic of 1893\, briefly revived by the humble sugar beet\, and finally leaving a hidden legacy of groundwater pollution. \nThis package deal for tickets for both tours together is $25\, $20 for seniors and students\, and $15 for HHM members. \nHHM Members: When registering\, log in to your member account for access to discounted member tickets.
