Kudos to the Greatest Generation
April 29, 2008 - 3:58pm — Rotary Rooter
As Minnesota and Eden Prairie celebrate their 150th birthdays this year, it’s worth noting that we have one of the country’s pre-eminent state historical societies. Minnesota’s Greatest Generation calls attention to the Minnesotans of the 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s, including those who lived through the Depression and World War II. Much of the emphasis of the project so far has been on collecting artifacts from that period and encouraging Minnesotans to assemble oral histories. The society’s Web site, www.mnhs.org, has a special “Share Your Story” section that helps people do just that. A major exhibit with the Greatest Generation theme is expected to debut in 2009 at the Minnesota History Museum. I urge you to check out the society’s work on Minnesota’s Greatest Generation at http://www.mnhs.org/people/mngg/index.htm. You’ll find an impressive amount of information. (Rotary Rooter focuses on the activities of the Eden Prairie A.M. Rotary Club, which meets at 7:30 a.m. Tuesdays at the Biaggi's restaurant at Eden Prairie Shopping Center. Guests are welcome. You can learn more about the club by visiting www.epamrotary.)
