In this series, we will take a deeper look at the ten topics highlighted in our new exhibit: X Marks the Spot! which showcases ten of the places around the lake where history has happened. Through our collection of photos, records, and artifacts, we will peel away the layers of local lore and dive into what we know about each topic.
This lecture series will take place at the White Bear Lake Armory. No registration is required!

May 20 – Streetcars, Steamers, and Amusements
The Twin City Rapid Transit Company and its subsidiaries operated the streetcar lines, steamers on the lake, and Wildwood Amusement Park on the Mahtomedi shore, attracting people to this side of the metro. How did its operations impact development around the lake? Take a deep dive with us!
