Description

First appearing in the early years of the 20th century, these cards are sometimes the only evidence we have of the lake's great hotels, massive steamers, amusement parks, as well as humble bait shops, streetscapes and bits of everyday life. This simple ephemera is an invaluable resource for historians, preserving images of years gone by.
Chuck Donley will share some of his personal collection of over 1000 cards of Lake Minnetonka and its surrounding towns and will explore what the fascinating hobby of deltiology can tell us about Lake Minnetonka’s history.

Doors open at 6:00 pm, program begins at 7:00 pm. Capacity is limited to 125 people. Seating is first come, first served. $5.00 suggested contribution at the door.

*SPECIAL ELMHS MEMBER PERK!* A limited number of free, prime seats are available to ELMHS MEMBERS ONLY! Register above.

Not an ELMHS member? Join or renew your membership here.

Parking: FREE public parking is available in the lot behind the brewery.
