Murray County Historical Society Receives SMAC Grant for 2020 Dinehart Holt House Front Porch Music Series

The Murray County Historical Society has received a $2,369 Arts Projects Grant from the Southwest Minnesota Arts Council. The funds will be used to towards the society’s annual Front Porch Music Series held at the historic Dinehart Holt House in Slayton; which was built in 1891 by Christopher Dinehart. Dinehart was one of the founders of the State Bank of Slayton [now home to the Left Bank Café] and later became its President. His wife Flora Dinehart owned the first piano in the county. Local lore told that on summer evenings, people would stop along the sidewalk in front of the house to listen to piano music drifting from the parlor windows. In the spirit of local history, the historical society will host musical acts to be performed from the front porch of the house. The concerts are tentatively scheduled for the last three Thursdays of July starting at 7pm. Performances by:

Starfire, a 1950s and 1960s Rock and Roll cover band.
Kordal Kombat, a local barbershop and acapella group with national appearances and acclaim.
The Skally Line, an acoustic group specializing in historical music.

The Murray County Historical Society is closely monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and will comply with state and county government directives as whether to postpone or cancel the concerts. Follow the society’s website (historicmurray.org) or Facebook page (facebook.com/murraycountymuseum) for updates on concerts. Please contact the Murray County Historical Museum at (507) 836-6533 or jtimmerman@co.murray.mn.us for questions.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southwest Minnesota Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

Event Details

Join us on Friday, June 17th (1-2:30 pm) for the second Rural Arts Activism & Anti-Racism Meet-up, hosted in partnership with the Department of Public Transformation and Springboard for the Arts.

In June Springboard for the Arts and the Department of Public Transformation hosted the first meet-up on this topic, with an incredible response. Feedback afterwards indicated an overwhelming desire to continue holding space for rural arts and cultural workers to connect and share resources for anti-racism, equity, and justice work in ways that are meaningful and in support of the work of black, brown, immigrant and Indigenous leaders.

The July 17 event will consist of facilitated, small group deep-dives into the ideas shared by the panelists at our first gathering in order to develop personal and community commitments, and to identify ways to support and hold each other accountable in building equity in rural communities. Breakouts will include a BIPOC-only space and the option to gather by region.

This event is primarily designed for arts and cultural workers who live or work in small towns, rural areas and/or tribal communities.

Event Details

WE'RE THINKING OUTSIDE THE AUDITORIUM!! The Fabulous Armadillos “What’s Going On” concert, has been rescheduled once again to Friday, July 24th. Furthermore, we are moving the location of the concert from indoors at Memorial Auditorium to outdoors at the Round Lake Vineyards & Winery. We are making this move in order to allow for social distancing outdoors for this event. We understand that this may still not be a comfortable choice for everyone, but we are trying to adapt the best way we can to provide a performance for our patrons. We appreciate you all so very much! FOR TICKETS & INFORMATION: www.friendsoftheauditorium.com

"What’s Going On" is a moving concert experience that incorporates live music, live narration and video to provide the audience a multi-media deep dive into the 60’s and early 70’s and of course, the Vietnam War. Through song and imagery this concert examines the tumultuous time period but concludes on a note of hope and inspiration for a better tomorrow. As one Vietnam veteran narrates during the show, “When we think of our divisions today, they pale in comparison to how badly we were divided back then”. A must-see Fabulous Armadillos production.
