October 26, 2011, Wednesday - Breakfast with a Preservationist at Mill City Museum

Time: 8:00am-9:00am

Location:  Mill City Museum, 710 South Second Street

Join Preserve Minneapolis at the Mill City Museum for 'Museum in the Streets'.

The Lake Street Council has organized a new project Museum that includes several bilingual heritage-discovery walks along Lake Street from Longfellow to Lake Calhoun. The tours will include stories of the events and people that have influenced the Lake Street we know today. Plaques highlighting the historic sites up and down Lake Street will form self-guided walking tours to be enjoyed by Lake Street communities and visitors alike. The plaques will be supported by a brochure that will invite people to discover Lake Street’s unique stories at their own pace, over the course of an afternoon or over return visits.

The Lake Street Council was created to support a vital Lake Street for businesses and residential communities along the corridor. The project is still researching pictures and stories on potential sites, as well as funding for installation. It is a great time for people interested in bringing history to life to get involved. Representatives from the Lake Street Council will talk more about the project.

This event is free! Breakfast treats and coffee will be provided (donations are welcome!). Metered parking is available on the street and in a parking garage across from the museum.
