Project Overview

Building on past efforts to catalog collections, the Three Rivers Park District continued the assessment and inventory of collections at The Landing in Shakopee. Inventories of 1, 015 artifacts from six (6) individual structures: the Wilkie House; the Graffenstadt House; the Kahl House; the Harms House; the Bank, and the Boesel "Red" Barn were conducted. All artifact information was recorded by PastPerfect software. The work was conducted by a seasonal Curator who had been hired to catalog and photograph the collections and to draft recommendations for long term preservation and future projects at The Landing.
