QUARTERLY NEWS HIGHLIGHTS

Autumn is a great time to be outside to see the colors, and it's a great time to travel the Heritage Tour route through Shoreview. The tour can be started at any point, but going past the lakes at mid-day should be part of your plan. The Lake Owasso Residence along the lake shore formerly cared for children exposed to tuberculosis as the old Preventorium. Several structures of interest are gone, but one can easily see where they were sited. Much of Shoreview's heritage is tied to places on the tour route. Get your routing and site explanation guide from any SHS board member.

SHS suggests you consider purchasing Shoreview Reflections as a gift this holiday season. The book, a history of Shoreview and the early settlements that preceeded it, has an accompanying DVD that includes interviews with seniors reflecting on the early growth of the city. The book costs $20 when purchased alone, and the DVD sells for $15. When purchased together it's a bargain price of $25. Shoreview Reflections may be purchased at City Hall, the Chickadee Boutique, and other local business sites - or by contacting any SHS board member.
