SOCIETY GOALS FOR 2005 Bob Reiss, from the Re-Echo, December 2004
What is in store for the St. Louis Park Historical Society
in 2005? What are our goals?
A. Establish a numbering and cataloging system for our
artifacts. Use computer technology to make our
collection more user friendly.
B. Continue to record the history of St. Louis Park,
with emphasis on the time period after 1945. Document
this history with written and oral interviews.
C. Enhance the train Depot experience by making the
Depot exhibit more exciting - possibly a model train
exhibit.
D. Investigate the possibility and cost of adding rest
rooms to the Depot.
E. Continue to encourage St. Louis Park or Hennepin
County to take responsibility for maintenance and upkeep of
the Roadside Park at Highway 7 now owned by MnDOT.
F. Seek the financial backing of the City of St. Louis
Park, businesses, service clubs, or receive grants for funds
to enhance projects.
G. Continue to publish the Re-Echo newsletter
quarterly and send it to everyone interested in the history
of St. Louis Park.
