Project Overview
Historian Arn Kind presented his program, 'Minnesota's Fur Trade and the French Voyageur' at Martin Luther High School in Northrop, Minnesota. Arn's interactive style told the tale of Minnesota's first business, the fur trade. The presentation was done twice, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. All area Lutheran schools were in attendance, and it was open to the public. Following presentations, the Martin Luther HS yearbook class created a poster collage of photos from the event to display at the Fairmont Library, along with Minnesota history materials available for check out.
