Project Overview

Traverse des Sioux Library System and the Gaylord Public Library sponsored bus trip from Sibley County to explore history in St. Peter and Henderson.  Our stops included the Traverse des Sioux Treaty Center, GAC Linnaeus Arboretum, GAC Buffet Lunch, and the Sibley County Museum in Henderson.   We were not able to stop at the B&B in Henderson as our group was too large.
