HISTORIC RESOURCES OF THE ST. CROIX VALLEY

Claire Vincent, Macalester College

The St Croix River valley has a diverse cultural history; from the Ojibwe to the Dutch to the Army Corps, every group impacted the valley differently. This PowerPoint presentation will provide an overview of the cultural and environmental history of the St. Croix, as well as an overview of valley-related archival resources at the Minnesota Historical Society (MHS). The resources of the MHS can help to support the research activities of scientists working in the valley. This presentation is the result of a partnership between Macalester College and MHS, supported by an endowment fund established by the James Taylor Dunn family to promote and preserve the history of the St. Croix River valley.
