Show Notes
The We Are Water MN exhibit is on the road for its 2022 tour. Throughout the year, We Are Water MN will be visiting five different communities in the state of Minnesota: Winona, Lake City, Alexandria, Otter Tail County, and Dakota County. On The Watershed podcast, we’ll be sharing series of episodes that reflect on the water stories of people who live in each of these places.
We Are Water has now arrived in Otter Tail County, where the exhibit will be on display at the Fergus Falls Public Library August 18 - October 10. Learn more: https://ottertailcountymn.us/project/we-are-water-mn/
Today, we explore how specific water bodies in Otter Tail County have shaped community members’ sense of place.
We are Water MN is led by the Minnesota Humanities Center in partnership with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency; the Minnesota Historical Society; the Minnesota Departments of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources; and University of Minnesota Extension, with support from the Clean Water, Land & Legacy Amendment and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
