During this presentation local historians and researchers, Heidi and Gina, will discuss the history of the St. Louis River and Estuary, including early inhabitants, explorers, industrialization, and the 1970's cleanup efforts and formation of WLSSD.

ABOUT OUR PRESENTERS:

Heidi Bakk-Hansen is a local historian, teacher and writer who has spent many lovely hours on the St. Louis River and Estuary in her little green kayak.

Gina Temple-Rhodes is a self-described local history nerd. After years working for the National Park Service and WLSSD, she became a self-employed oral historian and interviewed local elders and those involved in Duluth’s recent past. She loves saving and sharing stories.
