Join us this evening for a free presentation given by Shakopee Heritage Society’s David Schleper at Scott County Historical Society. Tonight’s topic is “Weird and Wonderful in Early Shakopee”.

Martha Tamazawiŋ Toboska War Eagle Wamadeduda Otherday and the 1897 County Fair, the 1918-1920 Flu, the gunman who went to the electric chair in 1937, the rat-tail bounty in the 1930s to 1950s, the barbershop who collapsed in 1931, and the Cambodian-American who arrived in Shakopee in 1987, and other weird and wonderful things that happen in early Shakopee are discussed in this presentation.

Presentation starts at 5:30 and will last approximately 1 hour with time for questions at the end.

We have approximately 25 seats available and we will do our best to record and upload it to our YouTube channel (no promises…technology doesn’t always cooperate!). You can call and reserve a spot, otherwise first come first served.
