Got a Nose for News and an Interest in History? Volunteers needed!
We are looking for some history hounds to help us go through the archives of both Kingfield and Lyndale neighborhoods. We are partnering with the Hennepin County Library archival program, and in preparation for working with them, we need some help sorting through the boxes of paper dating back to the 1990s. We’d love to find people with an interest in the neighborhood’s history and good eye for what we should keep (but we will give some guidelines, too) to get things organized to hand off to the library.
If you are interested in helping, please contact Nicole (communications@lyndale.org).
