Open House: If These Walls Could Talk
This interactive exhibit will bring to life the adage "if these walls could talk" by using a single, existing house in the Railroad Island neighborhood on St. Paul's East Side as a window into the daily lives of people of the past. Stories of families, from the first German immigrants through the Italians, African Americans, and Hmong who succeeded them, are told through rooms representing different eras of the house. The exhibit depended on extensive collaboration with St. Paul's East Side residents and students.
