The Shoe Lady, Pegeen Rozeske, a Historical Re enactor, shoe maker and New Ulm resident will present the Art and Mystery of a Cordwainer. This journeyman shoemaker travels through time as well as across the miles to demonstrate what making footwear entailed when this country was just beginning. The demonstrator will wear clothing typical of the Kiesling House era and share information about her attire. Also explore the past at Historic Kiesling House constructed in 1861; it survived the US - Dakota War of 1862 and is the only wood-framed house from that era remaining in Brown County. Learn about early pioneer settlement, customs and traditions of area immigrants and events, like the US-Dakota War of 1862, that shaped New Ulm. Examine the development of community and influence of social and political issues on residents that lived in this area of Minnesota.
