POW’s of SE Minnesota

Jeremy Darst- Minnesota DNR will speak at the Mazeppa Community Center on Thursday, April 28th at 6 pm., sponsored by the Mazeppa Area Historical Society.

There is a little known part of Minnesota’s history that occurred during the height of the Second World War.  We were host to a number of enemy prisoners of war housed at strategic locations throughout the state.  Join us for an hour long presentation about what happened when these prisoners lived among us. Did they cause trouble? Try to escape? Did they get along with the locals?  We’ll answer these questions and more.
