Description

Residents of Pierce County are invited to a meeting in River Falls from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, March 3, at the public library to share stories and special places in the area and the common threads which tie together the St. Croix River region.  The Heritage Initiative is hosting the discussion about potential National Heritage Area designation for the region, recognizing its unique characteristics and national significance.
