Event Information

Saint Paul Brewing resides within the former stables, carpentry shop, and keg wash house of the original Hamm’s Brewery. Only one hundred breweries survived Prohibition and Hamm’s was not only one of them, but it grew to be the fifth largest brewery in the nation after Prohibition was repealed. Come on the tour of Saint Paul Brewing and learn the fascinating history including the story of how William Hamm Jr. was kidnapped for ransom, and what happened such that this campus of massive buildings is no longer where Hamm’s is brewed.Tours are $15 per person and include a can of Hamm’s beer, craft samples brewed by Saint Paul Brewing, and a pint of choice at the end of the tour. Tour groups are limited to 20 people at a time, thus the importance of booking your reservation in advance. Tours are guided by Jimmy Keebs, who started working on site for the former Flat Earth Brewing and wrote this tour spanning the history of Theo Hamm Brewing Co, Pabst, Olympia, and Stroh Brewing Co. here on site to the present day of Saint Paul Brewing. Keebs is an actor around the Twin Cities film scene having appeared in many feature and short films.

Soldiers of the American Revolution
2025-03-22 14:00 - 16:00 | Arlington Public Library, 321 W Main St, Arlington, Minnesota, 55307
The American Revolution was America’s first civil war. It would split the country between Loyalists, those who wanted to stay loyal to the king, and Patriots, those who wanted to separate from Great Britain to become an independent and sovereign nation. How could we, as a people, go from being proud that we were British subjects and part of the greatest empire in the world, to wanting our independence from the mother country, in the span of just 10 years? Through drama, role-playing, and living history experiences, participants will gain an understanding of :

The Causes of the Revolution

Important people of the Revolution

Important battles of the Revolution

The tactics and strategies of the war.

The cost of the war, in terms of property and loss of life

The British viewpoint and attitudes toward the war

The typical soldier’s daily life, uniform, equipment and weapons

The results of the war; a new and better government and much, much more.

Minnesota's Wild & Woolly Prohibition Days at Waterville
2025-03-01 10:00 - 12:00 | Waterville Public Library, 210 Paquin St E, Waterville, Minnesota, 56096
In 1920, Minnesotans, along with the rest of the country, were plunged into what many called “The Great Experiment.” PROHIBITION. The manufacture, sale and transportation of alcohol was outlawed by the Volstead Act. Parents became bootleggers, kids smuggled illegal alcohol, and outlaws became celebrities. When Congress passed the Eighteenth Amendment, supporters believed it would create a better, stronger nation. Instead it began an era of lawlessness, when famous gangsters like Al Capone rose to fame. After an agreement between bootlegging gangsters and the police, St. Paul became a “gangster haven.” As gangsters grabbed the headlines, everyday Minnesotans quietly set up their own stills and speakeasies, producing the, what many considered, the best corn liquor in the nation. Many Minnesotans were busted and went to jail, some at Leavenworth Penitentiary in Kansas. Why take the risk? When WWI ended many farmers found themselves in danger of losing their farms. Producing moonshine for sale was one way to avoid foreclosure. Desperate situations call for desperate acts. Meet the drys, wets, gangsters, flappers, lawmen and suffragists of America’s most colorful, complex constitutional hiccup in Minnesota’s Wild and Woolly Prohibition Days.
