The Pope County Historical Society will hold its annual meeting Saturday, March 9 at 10:00 a.m. at the Pope County Museum. The brief business meeting will be followed by a screening of a 1931 Glenwood movie discovered last summer.
Staff will play the 13-minute movie in its entirety, then give a brief explanation of each scene with then and now photographs of the movie locations.
The film was commissioned by Henry Longaker, proprietor of the Glenwood theatre and features scenes from downtown Glenwood, the Glenwood Fire department, local churches, the Minnewaska Resort, and dancing at the Lakeside Ballroom. The movie footage was discovered by Aric Oeltjen at the Tom Kramer Inc. landfill in Glenwood, and digitized by the Minnesota Digital Library.
We will play the move throughout the day and give the PowerPoint presentation again at 1:00 and 3:00
