Date Name Time
Apr 20, 2010 Mary Gibbs: Defining Itasca 10:00 am - 11:30 am Optivation - Adventures in Lifelong Learning
Itasca State Park was the second state park designated in the US. Mary Gibbs, its third commissioner, was the first woman to serve as director and park manager for a state or national park, blazing a trail that few women have followed since that time. This presentation will be a "Living History" re-enactment of the life and work of Mary Gibbs, including how the park was established, and the difficulty involved in trying to determine and map the headwaters region. The presentation will be given by Janet Rith-Najarian, who has a Master's and PhD degree in environmental science and geography and serves on the board of directors for the Beltrami County Historical Society. She is also on the production crew for Lakeland Public TV. For complete ALL spring presentation schedule click here, for the Spring 2010 newsletter click here.
