The History Center of Olmsted County is partnering with Ashley Independent House at the History Center for a full day celebrating local authors, bookstores, and the joy of reading! This FREE, family-friendly event welcomes both kids and adults and will showcase a diverse range of genres, including local history authors, independent bookstores, and regional artists. Families can enjoy a children’s story hour led by local children’s authors in the historic schoolhouse at 10am.

To support the History Center, attendees can pre-register for a junk journaling workshop and/or purchase a $5 “passport” HERE. The passport includes discounts with participating vendors, and those who visit every author and vendor will be entered into a prize drawing.

Make an afternoon of it with dirty sodas from Sinner Sota and snacks from 75th and 3rd food truck and FJ Compadres while enjoying our grounds.

Admission is free. Click Buy Tickets to purchase your $5 Passport.
