LAKELAND PBS | BEMIDJI/BRAINERD Lakeland PBS & Legacy funding continue to highlight the rich cultural heritage our communities are preserving and passing on to future generations. IMPACT STORY
With every town monument or landmark there are stories, traditions, legends, and even myths that make these small communities vibrant and rich in pride. Lakeland PBS had the pleasure of seeking out these charismatic communities to hear from the caretakers and community members preserving these giant creations, the real stories behind the statues.
Minnesota Roadside Attractions Pt. 2 Tag along for part 2 as we continue across the great state of Minnesota, exploring some of the unique landmarks that make our communities so special. Cast your vote on who has the best Paul Bunyan in the Northland and meet his girlfriend Lucette in Hackensack. Travel down to west central Minnesota where we find several one-of-a-kind landmarks in and around Frazee, Rothsay, and Vining. You can also catch sight of the largest Walleye in the U.S. border town of Baudette and visit Eveleth for their tribute to the great sport of hockey.
“Being able to tell the stories of the unique and talented people who make up this community is extremely important. In doing so, it allows us to preserve our stories while sharing them with the rest of the world.” - MPTA Legacy survey participant
