More than just a building
If we want to remember the stories of today, we need your financial help. Ready to make a difference? Give OnlineWe are all living history and together we can:
Inspire
In April we viewed the St. John’s Bible at the Hill Museum and Manuscript Library. This stunning work was designed and completed by a team of international artists who used techniques perfected by Medieval Illuminators centuries ago.
Preserve
In May, members visited the Sinclair Lewis Boyhood home in Sauk Centre to learn more about this local boy turned international icon. The Sinclair Lewis Foundation works to preserve his childhood home and promote the success of current authors with their annual writer’s workshop.
Engage
This fall, we hosted the Lion Man Literacy Project exhibit. This collaborative effort partnered area youth with illustrators for historically black comic books and films, who taught the kids to develop characters and story lines. They then created drawings and a comic book, which was on display at the Stearns History Museum.
Thrive
Throughout the year we helped history thrive in our communities at various events: Juneteenth, Stearns County Fair, Cold Spring Baseball Park, Third Street Brewhouse, Quarry Park, Summertime by George, and more.
