I would like to thank the University of Minnesota for giving me the opportunity to do this project. I would also like to thank Dr. Julia K. Dabbs, for encouraging me to do this project and for being my mentor.
This project would not be possible without contributions from Hillary Swanson, Margaret O'Rourke, Ray Nelson, Pat Kvale, and Don Wedll and the Crow Wing County Historical Society, and the Nisswa Area Historical Society, along with the Henry C. Adams Memorial Library.
This website is dedicated to Sarah Thorp Heald with appreciation for all she did within the world of local art and history.
