Jay Grammond will present, “Wind, Prairie, and Stone in Southwest Minnesota” at the Lyon County Museum, 301 West Lyon Street, Marshall on Tuesday, September 22 at 6:30 PM About the Program: Step into the windswept prairies and rugged stone country of Southwest Minnesota! In this fascinating presentation, we’ll uncover hidden roadside curiosities, explore historic windmills; stone buildings and formations, and hear stories that bring the region’s past to life, from railroad depots to churches, to Carnegie libraries and so much more. This presentation features 18 counties of prairie beauty and one-of-a-kind landmarks. You will see familiar landscapes in a whole new way.
