The Goodhue County Historical Society is excited about the results of  receiving funding from the Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Grants program earlier this year.
Â
Executive Director, Robin Wipperling, says the grant has allowed them to hire additional staff to rehouse catalog, and digitize the GCHS photo collection online.
Â
Wipperling says the new project will provide access to over 18,000 photos from Goodhue County's history.
Â
Wipperling says Saturday, September 7th, the public is invited to learn about what school was like for kids in a one room rural schoolhouse. Create a schoolhouse craft, vote for your favorite subject, and more.
Â
Admission is free for everyone from noon - 3 pm.
Â
Along with GCHS staff, showcase your favorite first day of school photo for the day in a community show and tell.
Â
Printed photos can be brought to the event to be posted on their board and digital images can be emailed to education@goodhistory.org.
Â
Images will be displayed during the event September 7th.
