The Kasson Library received a Minnesota Library Legacy Grant from the Minnesota Historical Center and formed a partnership with the area community education departments to offer a free trip to the Minnesota Greatest Generation exhibit on Thursday, March 10, 2011 The bus trip, tickets, and the history players were all provided FREE through this grant. The Kasson Library was honored to be a part of this memorable experience for our area seniors.73 people rode two buses up to St. Paul to the history center to experience this wonderful exhibit. Many who attended talked about how they lived through the depression, the war years and talked about their personal experiences. It was great for me to listen to them and hear about some of the displays. A very worthwhile exhibit for all ages and I would highly recommend taking your children and grandchildren to it.
