Fireside Room at the Edina Senior Center Local historian Rachel Knudtson has worked for the Minnesota Historical Society to provide history tours that explore the Civil War, and in May she will join the Edina Historical Society and Edina Senior Center to present a unique history overview. Early into Minnesota's statehood, the country descended into war as conflict between the states erupted. Minnesotans came in droves to answer Lincoln's call for troops. This history talk, presented by an educator and former Minnesota State Capitol interpreter, will delve into stories of Minnesota regiments during the Civil War. In addition, information on where to find the burial sites of notable Minnesota figures locally. Reserve your seat in the lounge here: Fireside Room Reservation |
