River Falls: 250 Years Ago

Presented by River Falls Public Library at River Falls Public Library

TICKETS ARE NOT NEEDED TO ATTEND 1776 TWO WORLDS, ONE YEAR When Americans declared independence in 1776, the future River Falls area was not an empty frontier waiting to be settled. It was part of a living Indigenous landscape-a shared homeland and borderland where Dakota (Sioux) and Anishinaabe/Ojibwe (Chippewa) peoples maintained deep connections to the land and waterways of the St. Croix Valley. While revolution transformed Britain's Atlantic colonies more than 1,000 miles to the east, the Kinnickinnic and St. Croix valleys remained part of a long-inhabited Indigenous landscape. The community known today as River Falls would not be founded for another seventy years.

Unforgotten Washington County Stories from the Korean War

Presented by Washington County Parks at Washington County Historic Courthouse Stillwater, MN

The Korean War (1950–1953) is often called the “Forgotten War,” overshadowed by World War II that ended just five years earlier. But in Washington County, it is anything but forgotten. Eleven local men were killed in action during the war, and their stories continue to live on in the memories of families, friends, and the community they left behind. Their service, sacrifice, and experiences form a powerful chapter in our shared history. Visit the Washington County Historic Courthouse to explore an exhibit that brings these stories to life.

Upon Further Reflection

Presented by ArtReach St. Croix at ArtReach St. Croix Stillwater, MN

While each of these artists work with portraiture, the true connecting points are found deep underneath. Viewers are asked to look again. Do you see it now? In Minneapolis photographer Miguel Joven’s haunting portraits, the images are intentionally imperfect, a quality he has spent years perfecting. Don’t be fooled by the colorful and sometimes humorous subject matter of River Falls painter Megan Riley’s work. Her still-life and portrait work oscillates between coverage and exposure. Minneapolis artist Eric Zuccola is obsessed with visuals and text. His collage and mixed media works are, “realistic depictions of uncanny things.” On view: October 8 – November 14, 2026 Artist Reception: Thursday, October 8th, 6-8pm ArtReach St. Croix’s Royal Credit Union Foundation Gallery Hours ALWAYS FREE AND OPEN TO EVERYONE Wednesday & Friday, 10am-4pm Thursday, 10am-7pm Saturday, 12-4pm ArtReach St. Croix 224 North 4th Street, Stillwater, MN 55082 (651) 439-1465 www.artreachstcroix.org FB: @ArtReachSTX | IG: @artreach_stcroix This exhibition is a part of programming at ArtReach St. Croix whose mission is to connect communities and the arts. This activity is also made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

"Places, Everyone" Poem reading by Laurie Allmann

Presented by ArtReach St. Croix at ArtReach St. Croix Stillwater, MN

Join us November 7th, 4-5:30pm at ArtReach St. Croix, for a reading from Laurie Allmann. The title of Laurie Allmann’s new poetry collection, Places, everyone, embodies its central premise: that every place in nature is an expression of a complex and beautiful set of relationships built over time. It also offers a hint of the wry and engaging tone that often surfaces in her free verse as she relates scenes from the daily lives of individual creatures—Blanding’s turtles, crayfish, long-eared owls—and their intimate connections with the landscapes they call home. These are poems about swans and evolution, silent movies and Tuvan throat-singers, frogs, dogs, the act of poetry writing itself. The patience and insight with which she explores the natural world is accompanied by an awareness of the role she herself plays in its unfolding story. She reckons with grief and accountability for the undeniable changes we have all brought to bear. But more than anything, this collection revels in the wild creatures and wild places from which we take so much joy, and to which we are obliged in equal measure. Saturday November 7th, 4-5:30pm at ArtReach St. Croix, 224 4th St. N., Stillwater, MN
