The program is a collaboration between the Three Rivers park District (TRPD), the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB), the Metropolitan Council (Met Council), the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD), and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR). Data collected is entered into a database, which is used to identify water quality trends, track progress, and analyze water related problems.

The term "flour" is taken from the French In the nineteenth century, Minnehaha Creek, which term "fleur de farine, " which literally means "the flower, or still flows from Gray's Bay in Lake Minnetonka almost finest, of the meal." The word "flouring" or "flowering" was applied to miUs in this country as early as 1797.

  • From Swede Hollow to Arlington Hills, from Snoose Boulevard to Minnehaha Parkway: Swedish Neighborhoods of the Twin Cities
    From Swede Hollow to Arlington Hills, From Snoose Boulevard to Minnehaha Parkway: Swedish Neighborhoods of the Twin Cities By David A. Lanegran, Ph.D. Macalester College St. Paul, Minn It is estimated that nearly sixty percent of the Swedes who came to the United States settled in the cities of the upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest. Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth and Seattle all had sizable Swedish populations. The immigrants moved into cities whose forms and functions were determined by the industrializing mass society of the late nineteenth century. The industrialized culture produced urban landscapes that contained little evidence of the European cultures of the immigrants occupying them. Nonetheless, the urban neighborhoods occupied by Swedes in the Twin Cities are quite interesting. They ranged from some of the Cities' rawest slums to fine pastoral suburbs adjacent to luxurious parks. Beginning in the 1880s, Swedish immigration to the Twin Cities grew dramatically. John Rice reports that, by the end of the decade, Minnesota became the state with the largest Swedish population with approximately 60,000 immigrants. Of that number 26,000 or 45% settled in the Twin Cities. The migration continued at a rapid rate until the outbreak of the European War. By 1913, about 280,000 people left Sweden most of them young and single and looking for work. Minnesota's Swedish population peaked in 1905 at about 126,000 of which 38,000 lived in the Twin Cities. Chicago had a larger population of Swedes, but about 7.5% of the Twin Cities' population was Swedish. No other large city had such a high percentage.

Additional information about cultural resources within and adjacent to Minnehaha Creek and Minnehaha Parkway can be found in Chapter 7, including applicable legislative requirements regarding cultural resource preservation and an overview of previous cultural resources investigations in the vicinity. The cultural resources of the area and the stories they evoke informed the interpretive theme and subthemes (see Chapter 6: Interpretive Plan) as a way of Eastman Painting of a Dakota settlement (Source: Minneapolis Institute of Arts) engaging visitors and enhancing their experience along the Minnehaha Parkway Regional Trail. OVERVIEW OF AREA HISTORY The lakes, rivers, and topography of Minneapolis are a result of the movement of glaciers during a series of ice ages thousands of years ago. The Mississippi River once flowed through present-day South Minneapolis.

    The Crunch Factor: Apple Development at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Slides and Content –Courtesy of: • David Bedford • James Luby • Emily Hoover • Karl Foord • Peter Moe Apple Coevolution and Dispersal • Animals are attracted to the fruit and unknowingly spread the seeds. Human Dispersal • Apples are believed to have originated in Kazakhstan which was part of the ancient silk route. • As traders passed through that region they picked apples, ate them and dropped the seeds along the way . Further Dispersal • These seeds grew into trees that produced fruit and were further spread throughout Europe and Asia. Domestication by Grafting • Through the use of grafting, the Greeks and Romans were able to cultivate superior specimens from wild trees. • They spread them throughout the civilized world. Apples in the New World • Eventually apples made their way to America with the early settlers.

  • Minnehaha Falls and Longfellow's 'Hiawatha'
    THE INFORMATION BUREAU MINNEHAHA FALLS AND LONGFELLOW'S " HIAWATHA " To THE EDITOR : In the September number of MINNESOTA HISTORY you pub­ lish the letter of Alex Hesler in the-manuscript collection of the Minnesota Historical Society apropos of Longfellow's " Hiawatha " and the daguerreotype of Minnehaha Falls taken ,by Hesler which Longfellow had in his possession at the time the poem was written. It is an interesting, not to say romantic incident; but the statement in the Hesler letter that Longfellow took the daguerreotype " out in the woods with him and from it con- •ceived the thought and poem of Hiawatha " gives a wrong impression of the origin of the poem. Longfellow himself in his " Notes " in the first edition of The Song of Hiawatha (Boston, 1855) states (p. 299) : The Song of Hiawatha. — This Indian Edda — if I may so call it — is founded on a tradition prevalent among the North Ameri­ can Indians, of a personage of miraculous birth, who was sent among them to clear their rivers, forests, and fishing-grounds, and to teach them the arts of peace. He was known among dif­ ferent tribes by the several names of Michabou, Chiabo, Manabozo, Tarenyawagon, and Hiawatha. Mr. Schoolcraft gives an account of him in his Algic Researches, Vol. I, p. 134; and in his History, Condition, and Prospects of the Indian Tribes of the United States, Part III, p. 314, may be found the Iroquois form of the tradition, derived from the verbal narrations of an Onondaga chief. Into this old tradition I have woven other curious Indian legends, drawn chiefly from the various and valuable writings of Mr.

Zellie M.A., M.S., Principal Investigator Amy M. Lucas M.S. Landscape Research LLC 1466 Hythe Street St. Paul, Minnesota 55108 2009 This page intentionally left blank Management Summary In 2007, Hennepin County (HCWT) contracted with Landscape Research LLC to conduct a cultural resources study for the Minnehaha-Hiawatha Corridor in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. This project is a component of the Minnehaha-Hiawatha Community Works Strategic Development Framework. The study area was defined by Hennepin County (Fig.1). It extends from 28th Street at the north to E. Minnehaha Parkway at the south, and includes the first tier of properties along the east side of Minnehaha Avenue. The project area extends across Snelling and Dight (Railroad) Avenues and includes properties along the east side of Hiawatha Avenue. The cultural resources study has two parts. The first provides a land use history for the project area, beginning with the development of the territorial road and rail corridor in the mid-19th century and extending through the 20th-century development of industry and housing. The land use history will provide information for Hennepin County planners and community stakeholders involved in future planning for the Minnehaha-Hiawatha corridor.
