ST. CLOUD --Learn about the Beaver Islands and Talahi Woods during an informational meeting next week. The Southeast St. Cloud Neighborhood Preservation Coalition is hosting its 11th annual meeting on Monday.<\/p>\n
Minnesota's National Register Archaeologist David Mather will be the featured speaker.<\/p>\n
Spokeswoman Ann Marie Johnson says he'll be able to talk a lot about how the city and the university utilized the islands over the years.<\/p>\n
On one of the bigger islands, there was a tree nursery planted on there by professor Frederich who was a biology professor at St. Cloud State. They had picnics out there on one of the bigger islands, and of course, there was a bridge at one point.<\/p>\n
Johnson says another topic of discussion is the newly established Southeast St. Cloud New Deal-Built Landscapes Historic District. It is the first historic district in St. Cloud in nearly 20 years.<\/p>\n
It does cover four of our really significant sites, Riverside Park with Munsinger Gardens, Killean Boulevard, Selke Field, and George W. Fredrich Park, so that's pretty exciting.<\/p>\n
The meeting is open to all city residents, not just the people who live in southeast St. Cloud. It will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Monday at St. Benedict's Senior Community.<\/p>\n
