Meeting Information:
Intern
Emily Heimerman was hired as the Historical Society Intern. She has begun working for us and has
already completed a new display at City Hall related to the MN Vikings development (see photo) and
moved the Fire Department display from that location, to first floor.
Emily will continue to work on displays for the 1914 Town hall as we direct her. She is also working with
files and scanning materials and photos from the basement office to better catalogue.
Emily is entering her Senior year at St. Thomas and is a History major. She has a good deal of
coursework and skill in history display and archiving and is also very enthusiastic. She recently returned
from a second archeological dig in Croatia. She will be working with us into October.
