Regional history will be brought to life at 1 p.m. July 8 at the International Falls Public Library with Cuyler Adams, the original Iron Ranger.
The free program offered by the Arrowhead Library System, features Adams, one of the original discoverers and promoters of exploration on the Cuyuna Range. The name Cuyuna is a combination of the names of Adams and his dog, Una, who accompanied him on his prospecting trips. Thus, "Cuy-Una".
Adams lives on at the Minnesota Discovery Center through songwriter and storyteller Richie Johnson. As he visits libraries, he will share information about the lands, the mines, the people and the work that made the iron ore ranges historic and special. In this program, audiences can expect to learn about his life, see and touch real historical logging and mining equipment.
Adams and Una will bring Iron Range history to life through stories, songs and games in this interactive journey of discovery.
This program, sponsored by Arrowhead Library System, was funded in part or in whole with money from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
