"Uncle Sam's New Deal" Traveling Exhibit |
Winner of the 2012 American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) Award of Merit |
For this traveling exhibit, Emily expanded on the research she had done for the permanent exhibit "Uncle Sam Worked Here." She identified significant projects throughout Minnesota that were funded as part of the New Deal. These included the WPA-funded Hallie Q. Brown nursery school in St. Paul; Whitewater State Park in Winona County, developed by the National Park Service and the Civilian Conservation Corps; and Elbow Lake's Scofield-Thorson Memorial Building, the first PWA-funded building in Minnesota. |
