SUMMARY:Historian Anita Gaul
DESCRIPTION:Historian Anita Gaul to Present\, "The (Not So) Invisible Empire: The KKK in Southwest Minnesota in the 1920s" \n\nPresenting itself as a respectable\, patriotic\, Christian organization\, the new KKK attracted millions of new members in the 1920s. Klan activity in Southwest Minnesota began in 1922\, peaked in 1924\, and virtually disappeared by 1927. The KKK seemed to be particularly active in Fairmont\, Pipestone\, and Lake Wilson\, but Klan activity was also reported in Windom\, Fulda\, Chandler\, Worthington\, and many other area towns. Dozens of cross burnings occurred\, but there were also Klan rallies\, parades\, picnics\, meetings\, and speakers.  What attracted rural Minnesotans to this organization? How and why did it become popular in this area? And what accounts for its sudden demise? The brief but intense presence of the KKK in Southwest Minnesota is a hidden chapter in the region's history and one that will be explored during this presentation.  \n\nAnita's presentation will take place on   at 10:00 a.m. at the Community Room of the Pipestone County Courthouse.  Cost to attend is $5.00\; children 12 and younger are FREE.  Refreshments will be served.\n\nThe Pipestone County Museum is located at 113 S. Hiawatha Avenue in Pipestone\, MN.  If you have further questions you may call the Museum at (507) 825-2563 or email them at pipctymu@iw.net
