The Lake Minnetonka Historical Society (LMHS) will present its latest program 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 13, in the Wayzata City Hall Community Room, 600 Rice St. E.
Historian Joanie Holst will lead the presentation titled “Welcome to the 20th Century: Wayzata and the North Shore.” As the train continued to rumble through the village of Wayzata, modest dwellings and summer cottages were joined by substantial year-round estates of wealthy Twin Cities corporate heads. The resort era waned and this lakeside community pivoted to serve its residents and surrounding areas with well-known businesses such as Minnetonka Boat Works, the Wayzata Theater, Minnetonka Hospital and Meyer Bros. Dairy. Attendees will be treated to a more recent history of the town, as well as a little nostalgia.
