Museum on the Streets - Lake Street was unveiled on September 25!
We were lucky to attend the grand unveiling of the Museum on the Streets - Lake Street earlier this week. It consists of walking tours with signs along Lake Street in three separate areas: Uptown, Midtown, and 27th and Lake.
The Uptown Tour, focused on the lake district has 19 stops that go from Hove’s/Lunds grocery store at 1450 West Lake Street to the Schatzlien Saddle Shop at 609 West Lake Street.
The Midtown Tour is focused on the immigrants that have lived there past and present has 18 stops that go from Park Avenue Residential District to Layman’s Cemetary.
The 27th and Lake Tour is focused on transportation and industry has 19 stops, going from Porky’s Drive-In at 2017 East Lake Street to Wonderland Amusement Park (East Lake and 31st Ave. S.)
Joyce Wisdom from the Lake Street Council (and a star of the Special Collections Documentary) addressed the crowd as did Mayor Rybak, County Commissioner Gail Dorfman, County Commissioner Peter McLaughlin and others.
Here is a MinnPost article on the new signs.
