Seniors in Mind: My Book of Skills: Your Guide to Wool Socks and Coffin Building
Minnesota History Center, St. Paul MN

Join author Chris Niskanen as he brings to life the basic know-how that makes us uniquely Minnesotan. Ranging from seasonal (a buyer’s guide to wool), to old timey (grow your own wheat and make bread), to manners (sauna etiquette), to fascinating but little practiced tips (building a birch bark canoe), this playful yet straightforward program with personal stories will entertain, inform and perhaps even prepare you for any kind of challenge you might face living in the North Star State. Funded in memory of Marney Brooks. For more information visit http://www.mnhs.org/seniorsinmind.

Tickets are Free (does not include $8 senior admission to museum galleries). Reserve by phone at 651-259-3015.
