Vanishing Landmarks

With Doug Ohman

 February 23rd at 7:00pm

in the American Legion Room, Chatfield Center for the Arts

 Travel back roads and small towns with photographer Doug Ohman as he explores the stories and history of Minnesota through historic buildings that are quickly disappearing.  Doug will share his experiences, photos, and information about a variety of sites from Minnesota’s oldest Courthouse to the last Civil War recruiting station. 

 Doug Ohman is a freelance photographer and popular public speaker, who has traveled throughout the upper Midwest photographing historic architecture.  His work has been widely published in magazines, calendars and books.  Over the past seven years he has been working with the Minnesota Historical Society on the popular book series, “Minnesota Byways.”  Books will be available for purchase and signing at the program.

  

This program is brought to you by the Chatfield Public Library, along with the Friends of the Library & the Chatfield Center for the Arts Committee.  It is free and all are welcome.  Refreshments will be served.  Doug’s programs are always so enjoyable!  Please join us!
