The photos and stories of Princeton’s potato industry over a century and a half and the stories of the Italian Prisoners of War will be going back to our Archives soon!

New Special Exhibits will appear very soon.

The next will be “Electrifying Minnesota”, the story of the major shift in Minnesota’s life as electricity appeared here from the beginning to the middle of the 20th century.

For the anagram lovers among us:

We recently were gifted the letters that spell “NORTH ELEMENTARY” from the former Princeton school of that name.

What words can you spell with these letters?

The MLCHS had its first visit this week from the electric surrey bike rental from the Princeton Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism.

Carline Sargent led a surrey bike tour of Princeton with her merry band.

Glad to see you! The depot is a “must” stop on future Wednesday and Friday tours !

Jeanette Oakes met with Joel Minks and Barry about work on the Brickton monument this week to better protect the masonry from water pe*******on and “freeze / thaw” damage in the Spring.

Joel is now the Mayor of Brickton, having done a terrific job of mowing grass, removing weeds, trimming trees and bushes and beautifying the site.

Stop by before fall colors to appreciate the site improvements Joel has made.
