Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and whether you find yourself single or partnered, you can take in some holiday festivities in St. Cloud this weekend.
The 150th Anniversary of the Old Settlers Association will take place in 2023. The organization was established in 1873 to gather stories of the folks who first settled the area. Carie Essig is the Executive Director of the Stearns History Museum. She joined me on WJON.
The grant, totaling more than $120,000, was awarded by the Minnesota Historical Society to help inventory more than 3,500 items in the Stearns History Museum’s three-dimensional collections.
Kids will learn all about the different spy tactics used during World War 2, and then use the skills to solve an escape room at the Stearns History Museum.
WJON is taking a look at former St. Cloud movie theaters. I am joined by Steve Penick and John Decker from the Stearns History Museum. The Eastman Theater was located at 21 2nd street south in St. Cloud. It opened in 1940, had seating of 464, it closed in 1967 and was since demolished.
