Historical Displays
In 2008, the SAHS (Schroeder Area Historical Society) volunteers spent at least 1,000 recorded hours and 5,000 hours
thinking, dreaming and creating the newly installed exhibit Mapping Schroeder Area History: 150 years
and the exhibit Building Community 1915-1950: Homesteads, Roads and Resorts.
The exibits were funded, in part, by grants from the Doris Lamb Memorial,the Elmer L. and Eleanor J. Andersen Foundation,
the Trillium Foundation and by the Coastal Zone Management Act by NOAA's Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management,
in cooperation with Minnesota's Lake Superior Coastal Program.
The Schroeder Area Historical Society has a collection of oral histories, photographs and memorabilia which are stored in a temperature / humidity controlled room at the Cross River Heritage Center. Through recent grant funding from the Minnesota Historical Society, these artifacts are catalogued in a database. Digital images accompany the information about each artifact. Interested persons can use this data base to conduct genealogy studies. Below is the 2011 exhibit created by SAHS volunteers called "Where did you go to school?"
