Merriam Park Library

1831 Marshall Avenue in St. Paul

This event is sponsored by the Friends of the St. Paul Public Library and is part of the Mississippi Market food lecture series.

Eighmey will talk about the challenges and accomplishments during WWI as Minnesotans jumped into significant food conservation efforts with a “can-do spirit” and a “must-do drive.”

Samples of World War I wheat-saving “Liberty” bread developed by the University of Minnesota home economists will be available at both events
