Volunteer Bus Trip
On June 12th 2007 the Volunteer Services department sponsored a trip to the Harkin Store in New Ulm, MN. Volunteers enjoyed a special tour of Harkin Store, a picnic lunch next to Hermann the German and a driving tour of New Ulm compliments of former New Ulm resident and current History Center volunteer Robert Paulson.
