St. Paul Union
Stockyards Exhibit
April 12, 2008 -December
31, 2010
Lawshe Memorial Museum
April 11, 2008 marked the end of a 122 year
tradition of livestock sales in South St. Paul. The St. Paul Union Stockyards
left an indelible mark in the agricultural communities of the Midwest
and west while shaping the lives of thousands in Dakota County.
With this exhibit the Dakota County Historical
Society has crafted a fitting tribute to the yards and the people who
worked there. Partner Town Square Television is creating a one-hour documentary
on the yards, the premier of which will be shown at the grand opening
of the exhibit in late May, 2008.
Sponsored in part by the South St. Paul
Chapter of the Dakota County Historical Society, Central Livestock Association,
and Town Square Television.
