COMMUNITY GATHERING TO EXPAND THE NORTH HERITAGE TRAIL along the Mississippi River of the St. Anthony Falls Heritage Zone (the pathways between Hennepin Ave Bridge and Plymouth Bridge, east and west banks of the Mississippi River, including Boom Island, B.F. Nelson Park, Nicollet Island, the former mouth of Bassett Creek.)

-Are you interested in history related to the Mississippi River above St. Anthony Falls?
-Do you want to see the elevation of Dakota history? What Métis families were leaders in early trading?
-Who were the African Americans that helped to build Minneapolis, working on and along the River?
-What interpretation ideas do you have for the success of this project?

This is the second funding from St. Anthony Falls Heritage Falls Board, in collaboration with the Minneapolis Park Board (MPRB) and the Minnesota Historical Society (MHS) and the St. Anthony West Neighborhood Organization (STAWNO) to broaden historical understanding, by including BIPOC stories on the North Heritage Trail.
