Pre-Conference Event on April 24, 1 to 4:30 pmIn 2018, MALHM will once again offer a pre-conference event for those looking to arrive a day early. This year, we will be taking a trip to the Andrew J. Volstead House in Granite Falls. Attendees will receive a tour of the house and learn about how the Granite Falls Historical Society is working to continually improve how they tell the Volstead story.
After touring the house, attendees will take a short 5 minute walk to the Granite Falls Chamber of Commerce for a discussion led by Museology on upcoming commemorative events and how these could fit into exhibits and programming at local history organizations. The bus will leave from the Ramada Inn parking lot at 1 pm and will return at 4:30 pm. |

Mixers and Networking Events

For those arriving for the bus trip to Granite Falls or around the dinner hour, an informal mixer will be held at Shay's Restaurant, attached to the Ramada Inn, beginning at 7 pm. All food and drink for this event will be the responsibility of each individual person.
On Wednesday evening, visit the Lyon County Historical Society (301 W. Lyon St.) and explore their exhibits while enjoying appetizers and drinks from 7 to 9 pm. Each participant will receive a drink ticket and then it will be a cash bar after that. Pop and water will be complimentary. |
Attendees to the 2017 MALHM Conference in Walker enjoyed networking events and have consistently rated this as their favorite part of the whole event experience.
