Guide to Interpreting Peddlers Grove Prairie Settlement
(Many thanks to the White Oak Society and Farmamerica for guidance on this document)
he purpose of this guide is to help provide a
standardized level of interpretation to the visiting public. It also serves to assist
individual interpreters as they participate in the fun and challenge of presenting a
reasonable, historically accurate picture of the pre-statehood town site of Peddlers Grove,
Minnesota Territory to the public. The guide is not intended to be an all-inclusive listing
of all pertinent Minnesota frontier information and interpretation insights.
ny and all aspects of this guide are open to scrutiny
and discussion. Historical facts are to be as accurate as we know them (even if we opt to
"bend" them for the purposes of presentations). Roles of generalized and specific characters
are always open to change. Everyone is encouraged to devise skits and activities to enhance
the interpretation. Click on the links at the bottom of each page to view the entire guide.
