Project Overview
Mary Dodge Woodward, a Minnesota History Player, performed at the Browns Valley Public Library and the Wheaton Community Library on the same day. Her topic centered on the reasons people were convinced to move west to Bonanza Farms and included historical items, maps, and cooking utensils. She read from a journal kept during that era, involving the audience as participants in her drama.
