New Historical Video Section

Several months ago, I added an audio history segment to my website. I used a computer generated voice to read interesting Minnesota historical segments, including maps and some pictures. Words and pictures can almost take you back to what is being described. I have continued to add additional audio historical segments over the past month. In addition to this, I have now created a new historical video section. I came across a series of interesting news articles about the completion of the Northern Pacific Railroad and the celebration that was held in Minneapolis and St. Paul. I have a bunch of old photographs from that period too. So I created a video compilation of this event using the photographs, and produced a YouTube video of it. I think it turned out pretty well. It's about six minutes and can be found in the historical video section of the website. Check this out!  It's worth your time.  If you like it and would be interested in seeing more, I always appreciate getting your feedback.
