More than two
million people visit
Mount Rushmore
in the Black Hills of
South Dakota each
year. Creating this
monument took
fourteen years, four
hundred workers,
450,000 tons of rock,
and nearly one million dollars. The original idea for the carving was to generate tourism,
but the actual carving is a story of inspiration, celebration, and perseverance. Register by February 12.

The Sea Wing Disaster: Tragedy on Lake Pepin
by Fred Johnson - February 10
In July of 1890, a severe storm on Lake Pepin hammered the Sea Wing riverboat, its attached barge,
and 215 passengers during a Sunday evening return
voyage to Red Wing. Ninety-eight people tragically
died. Residents of Lake City, home to most of the
victims, suffered through four days of anguish:
The return of 52 of the dead to the city levee on
Monday morning, 44 funerals on Tuesday, cannons
and dynamite used in hope of raising bodies of the
missing, and the recovery of the remaining victims
on Wednesday and Thursday. Twin City newspapers
rightfully called Red Wing the “City of the Dead”. The
wreck of the Sea Wing ranks among the most deadly
accidents on the nation’s inland waters. Register by
February 5.
7-8:30 p.m.
Roger Maris and a Cast of Hundreds by
Gregory Rom - April 13
In this historical narrative,
Gregory Rom describes the
events in Major League Baseball in the years 1957 through
1968. This was a simpler time
when there were fewer teams
playing. The American and
National League pennant pursuits seemed to unfold with
more apparent drama over
the course of the summer. In
those years, the League pennant pursuits led directly to the World Series. Rom
summarizes the key games and player performances
of each World Series over the 12-year period. Rom
skillfully interweaves historical baseball details into
his narrative about the most successful players of
the era. Register by April 8.
7-8:30 p.m.
