The people of Winona have awarded the Winona Public Library the Hidden Gem Tourism Award. The award is a reminder of the value all public libraries provide to their communities, and the degree to which they are appreciated by community members.
The Winona Public Library’s new contribution to Minnesota Reflections includes the original library blueprints, the Kenyon Cox sketches for his iconic sculpture, Library Board minutes dating back to 1866, photographs, and historical documents on the creation and operation of the Winona Public Library. The Library also contributed Winona High School commencement programs from the late 1870s and an interesting 1857 map of the City of Winona.
