SPOILER ALERT: You won’t see Voyageurs National Park in Ken Burns’ new documentary. Or the St. Croix Scenic Riverway. Or any of the other worthy NPS sites in Minnesota. You can, however, be one of the first to catch them all tonight, at a special screening of Minnesota’s National Park Legacy.
Fitting that it’s premiering at Bell Museum of History; the TPT-produced documentary looks like it could also cover the history of these places *before* the NPS came along. Images of native peoples harvesting wild rice in Voyageurs(?) and quarrying in Pipestone, were pleasant surprises as I watched the trailer. I’m glad to see their heritage and legacy recognized. I also got excited about the shot of Taylors Falls, ’cause I’ve totally been there before — like, a hundred times!!
The screening’s at 7pm; check here for details. Via Wilderness News Online.
