Stay Historic
Every reservation helps preservation
Update 7.17.26
Operation Relocation, part 7: Rebecca and Sara share the next installment of Operation Relocation, offering a candid look behind the scenes at what we have accomplished in the past month. From fire safety regulations, county licensing, events, and ongoing inventory, sometimes you just need to record the podcast while sprawling on the floor. With perfect timing, the Anoka County Library shares recommendations on meditation and stress relief in this episode’s Library Minute.
We passed our inspection from the State Fire Marshal in a large part because Chad hung up 13 smoke detectors. Other events of note recently include recording a piece with KSTP ready to air August 3, welcoming folks to an open house with root beer floats at Riverfest, and figuring out how to get the WiFi to reach ALL the way across the house (thanks, Ragnar!)
Next week’s calendar says we’ll be out at the County Fair (but also taking care of the health inspection, writing a final report for a grant, responding to several research requests, and drooling over the possibilities in those breakfast baskets!)
For more day-to-day experiences as we build up to an open house at Riverfest and a ribbon-cutting on September 10, check out our blog posts, podcast, and, of course, www.AnokaCountyHistory.org.
