Tonight - The Pillsburys of Minnesota at Mill City Museum
Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 9:30AM
Time: 7:00pm
Location: Mill City Museum, 704 2nd Street South
Fee: Free
Mill City Museum will host a conversation between authors Lori Sturdevant and George Pillsbury to celebrate the publication of their new book, “The Pillsburys of Minnesota,” which chronicles the family’s role as local pioneers in the milling and lumbering industries, and the part they played in Minnesota politics, the growth of the University of Minnesota, and other civic developments in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Sturdivant recounts how succeeding generations of Pillsburys blended private enterprise with public service, and probes the enduring effect the family has had on the civic culture of a state.
After the discussion Sturdevant and Pillsbury will sign copies of the book, which will be for sale in the museum store.
