Preservation begins today
The National Trust for Historic Preservation's annual conference got underway today in the Twin Cities. The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that about 2,000 people are expected to attend the event, which continues through Saturday. Linda Mack sang the praises of historic preservation of Minnesota architectural landmarks in Sunday's Star Tribune, citing St. Paul's Irvine Park, Grain Belt Brewery, Jones and Nicholson Halls at the University of Minnesota and Mills City Museum (above) as local preservation successes.
