Lunch With the History People
to
St. Louis County Heritage and Arts Center (Depot) 506 West Michigan Street, Duluth, Minnesota 55802
The St. Louis County Historical Society presents Lunch with the History People with Tony Dierckins, a local author, book designer and publisher. Tony will discuss “Duluth's Lost Grand Old Stage Theaters.” His presentation is derived from the book that he co-authored with Maryanne C. Norton, entitled Lost Duluth. The lecture focuses on the period from 1869 to 1966 and illustrates how “live” theater started in Duluth. Discover how these elaborate structures affected the community and the people associated with them, from politicians to a few of Duluth’s more unsavory residents. He has authored or co-authored almost two dozen books. His non-fiction work, entitled Crossing the Canal; An Illustrated History of Duluth’s Aerial Bridge, was a 2009 Minnesota Book Award finalist. In 2012, the Depot Foundation awarded him the Historic Preservation and Interpretation Award. The event will be in the Ruth Maney Room on the first floor of the St. Louis County Heritage & Arts Center (the Depot), at 506 West Michigan Street, Duluth. There will be limited theater-style seating (no tables), but feel free to bring your own bag lunch. Seating is first-come, first-served (no reservations). Admittance to this event is free to the public. ARCO coffee is provided. For more information, contact Julie Bolos at 218-733-7568, or email julie@thehistorypeople.org.
