The Murray County Historical Society and Slayton Public Library invites the public to attend the March Lunchbox Lecture Thursday, March 12, in the 4H building on the Murray County Fairgrounds in Slayton starting at noon. This month’s lecture will feature Jay Grammond on “Ghost Signs & Grain Bins: A Look At Minnesota’s Farming Heritage” Step into the fading paint and rusted tin of Minnesota’s agricultural past in this visually rich and story-filled presentation. “Ghost Signs & Grain Bins” uncovers the once-bold advertisements that graced barns, brick walls, silos, and grain bins. We’ll explore historic Minnesota farms, honor a few trailblazing ag pioneers, and journey through the state’s most iconic grain elevators and farmstead bins.
As the program is a collaboration with the local public library, this lecture will be free for the public, regardless of MCHS membership status.
Attendees are welcome to bring their own lunch. Refreshments and light snacks are provided. For more information about this and other museum events, call 507-836-6533 or email [email protected].
