Join the Preston Historical Society for a Community Engagement Opportunity!

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2022
6:30PM-8PM
United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall
212 St. Anthony St. N, Preston MN

In August 2021, the Preston Historical Society was awarded a $10,000 grant from the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF). The goal is to develop a Masterplan for the historic campus at the Trailhead and the riverfront area through downtown Preston. An advisory committee was formed. They are now prepared to present their findings and seek input on how to proceed. Come and lend your voice to the conversation!

Committee Members: Dan Christianson; Jon DeVries; Ilene Edwards; Steve Hall;
Gabby Kinneberg; Barb Mielke; Dean Schumacher; Kerry Soiney; Charlie Sparks; Ryan
Hermes, Widseth Consulting Engineer; and Sheila Craig as Facilitator.
