To some, the fields and farms of the Upper Midwest all look the same, but to the people who have struggled to raise families and make a living from the soil, each farm is a "small kingdom" with a rich and often troubled history. Join author John Hildebrand at the History Center either in person or virtually, as he weaves a narrative that is at once an elegy for a vanishing way of life and a celebration of the tenacious and deeply held American values that have made today's way of life possible.

This program is part of the 2023 Alan Calavano Lecture Series.

*This program is offered both in person and virtually, please be sure to order the ticket that fits you best at olmstedhistory.com/events*
