The Mower County Historical Society, in partnership with the Austin Public Library, will host a traveling exhibit from the Minnesota History Center.

The exhibit, “Minnesota Disasters,” will be on view at the Austin Public Library during regular hours, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., from Feb. 1 to March 16.

The exhibit explores Minnesotans’ experiences with natural and man-made disasters throughout the state’s history.

The Minnesota Historical Society Traveling Exhibits Program was made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on Nov. 4, 2008.
