On Saturday the Scott County Historical Society will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary!
We are marking the event with a full day of games, music, food and crafting in the Stans Garden. Indoors (in addition to our regular exhibits), SCHS will pay tribute to the year of our formation, 1968. You will have the chance to test your knowledge with a 1968 trivia game, and take some snapshots in a retro photo-booth.
We’ve also taken this opportunity to take a look at what was going on around the county 50 years ago in 1968. Below are some articles and cartoons that graced Scott County’s papers that year:
Belle Plaine
Jordan
New Prague
Prior Lake
Savage
Shakopee
There will be flip books available on Saturday with more articles, giving a snapshot of the highs and lows, triumphs and losses and everyday stories of the county and this nation. We are excited to celebrate 50 years, and we hope to see you this Saturday from 10-3 at the Stans Museum. Thank you for a great half century!
