These postcards capture historic events and people in and around Ely and Winton in far northern St. Louis County. The addition of these materials from Minnesota's Arrowhead country helps fill a gap in Minnesota Reflections.
22 new Hmong language materials have recently been added to the Hmong Cultural Center's collection in Minnesota Reflections. These materials reflect the first of its kind in Minnesota Reflections, and we are excited to introduce a new language to Minnesota Reflections!
