Upcoming 2020 exhibit:
Why Chaska?
This exhibit will integrate the many reasons that individuals moved to Chaska over time. Why did the Dakota come here? What was tantalizing for the immigrants who came here in the 1800s-early 1900s? What were the people who were part of the Jonathan movement looking for in settling here? What was desirable for the Latino population? The Somalis? And how about today?
