Tue, Sep 22In August of 1862, men who had recently settled across Minnesota answered President Lincoln’s call for more troops to fight the Confederacy. Many of those volunteers were formed into the Eighth Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment where they had extraordinary experiences.
Tue, Sep 29Will Weaver’s grandfather emigrated from Norway to Minnesota in 1904. In 2017, Will Weaver's son left Minnesota to marry and live in Norway.
