The Bohemian Flats in Recent Fiction Author Event

Meet three authors of recent fiction who have found inspiration from the historic Bohemian Flats, the area on low land next to the Mississippi River below the Washington Avenue Bridge that provided a home for Minnesota’s newest immigrants from the 1870s until 1931. This hidden history has been revealed in recent books in three different genres: The Bohemian Flats, a novel by Mary Relindes Ellis; A Tradition of Deceit, a historical mystery in the Chloe Ellefson Mystery series by Kathleen Ernst; and Keystones of the Stone Arch Bridge, a book for new readers by Carolyn Ruff.

Each author will read from their book and discuss how the story of Bohemian Flats informed their work. The authors will be available to sign copies of the books, which will be available for sale in the museum store. Attendees can also view the exhibit "Remembering the Bohemian Flats: One Place, Many Voices," on view in the museum's Mill Commons.

This is a free event.
