Hutchinson (Images of America) by Mcleod Society
Founded in 1855, when Minnesota was still a territory, Hutchinson is named for a New Hampshire family of minstrels and social activists who sang for emancipation, women s rights, temperance, and other causes of their day. In its early years, the town survived a Dakota War and a grasshopper plague to evolve into a thriving community. Documenting this evolution through six chapters are period photographs the vast majority from the collections of the McLeod County Historical Society. Images of America: Hutchinson chronicles the town s beginnings, then presents a city tour across time, with a primary focus on Main Street. It illustrates public services and the livelihoods of local citizens, and it reveals a lifestyle that was, and is, enriched by an array of diversions, many centered on the Crow River, surrounding lakes, and an extensive park system. Concluding photographs, spanning the arts, serve as a reminder of the legacy of the founders.
Jensen, Julie M.: - After a career on the faculty of the University of Texas at Austin, Julie M. Jensen returned to Hutchinson, where her roots are generations deep and where her fascination with history found a home at the McLeod County Historical Museum.
