IMPACT STORY

Lakeland PBS & Legacy Funding Preserve the Heritage of Greater Minnesota’s Communities

Lakeland PBS took viewers on a tour through the origins of some of the iconic first “fast food” or drive-through restaurants in Central and Northern Minnesota. In this documentary, we hear about the significance these establishments had for many people and their families as employees, business owners, and customers. These establishments were part of American history, further shaping our growing fast-paced lives. They have also aided in how we interact socially and culturally – and how some things have remained the same over the years.
