Lunch and a Bite of History-The History of Grocery Stores in New Ulm
The public is invited to Lunch and a Bite of History on Thursday, April 2. Local historian, Terry Sveine, will give a one hour presentation, “The History of Grocery Stores in New Ulm.” The presentation will be held in the Brown County Museum Annex meeting room at 12:00pm. When Sveine was asked what the program will be about, he warned that, “It is not going to be me showing photos of old grocery stores and elaborating on each of them. Rather, it will trace grocery shopping trends and changes throughout 160 years of New Ulm’s history that will surprise and intrigue the attendees. Many images and photos will illustrate the various points.” Sveine has volunteered in many capacities for the BCHS. He served as a board member, served on the 150th Anniversary of the U.S.-Dakota War Committee in 2011, he works in the Research Library, and is a tour guide. He has written extensively on New Ulm history and is currently working on a piece about the role of animals in New Ulm during the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862. Lunch and a Bite of History program is free to the public. Attendees are encouraged to bring their lunch; complimentary coffee and water will be available.
