WELCOME!

Hello and welcome to the official website of the St. Louis Park Historical Society. We hope that the information in these pages will be of interest to current and former residents of the Park and others interested in our City.

The information presented comes from a variety of sources, including  newspapers, books, yearbooks, phone directories, interviews, and materials collected by the founder of the Society, Marie Hartmann.


One of the most important sources of information comes from the unpublished manuscript St. Louis Park:  A Story of a Village.  It was written in 1952 by U of M student Norman Thomas, who had access to a tremendous number of documents that have since been lost or destroyed.  For the first time we have made this monograph available on our website. 

Given the varied sources, we cannot guarantee that all of this information is correct, and welcome any additions and corrections. Please contact us with your contributions and comments.

We hope our History Index will make it easy to find what you are looking for as you  browse through the topics.
 

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, July 7 at The Depot at 7:00 pm.
