このコンテンツについて

Minnesota history is a rich tapestry, weaving together the diverse experiences, cultures, and events that tell the story of our state. It’s a story that affects—and includes—all of us. Minnesota Unraveled, a podcast by the Minnesota Historical Society, pulls on the threads of the past to reveal new perspectives and expand our knowledge of the history we share. Host Dr. Chantel Rodriguez and her guests invite listeners to think like historians and recognize that learning about other people’s lives in the past can be a powerful way to reveal our place in the present. Join us on a journey across the North Star State as we take a look around us and ask questions that pull us into the past. 世界 社会科学

  • Brick by Brick: The African Americans who Built the Capitol
    2025/05/15
    The Minnesota State Capitol is a gleaming marble building sitting on a hill — an ode to the Italian Renaissance, topped with an impeccably crafted dome. You’ve probably heard of the mind behind the design, Cass Gilbert, plenty of times. But how did Gilbert’s design influence how the building was made, and just who was it that built the capitol itself? In this episode, historian and host Dr. Chantel Rodríguez uncovers the unsung builders of this Minnesota monument — African American stone masons. Who were they, and how did they come to the Twin Cities? To answer those questions and more, Chantel spoke with three experts, each of whom pulls from a different well of historical knowledge: Brian Pease, the Site Manager at the State Capitol, John Sielaff, a labor historian, and Marvin Anderson, the grandson of a stone mason who worked on the site.

  • Rivers of History
    2025/04/24
    Rivers loom large in our past and present – as places for community connection, routes for trading and spaces for recreation. They carry an untold number of stories about the people, the water, and animals that call Minnesota home. But how do we go about learning these stories? In this episode, historian and host Dr. Chantel Rodríguez dives into the rivers of history to explore how people’s relationships to rivers changed over time and how the river itself has been altered by human activities. To answer these questions, Chantel spoke with historian John Anfinson, environmental archaeologist David Mather, as well as Bad River Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe member and indigenous archaeologist Selena Bernier. Each guest shares a unique perspective on river history – from making the Mississippi more navigable in the 19th century, to Native peoples’ use of mollusks, to Native copper carrying communities.

  • History on Two Wheels: Bicycles and Bike Paths in Minnesota
    2025/04/14
    Many places around the world are famous for their love of cycling—think Amsterdam in the Netherlands, or Portland, Oregon. But head to Como Lake in St. Paul, or the Mill Towns Trail in Northfield on a sunny spring day, and you’ll find flocks of cyclists taking advantage of the weather and the well-loved bike paths. How did biking find a place in the hearts of Minnesotans? And how did the robust biking infrastructure in the state come to be? In this episode, host and historian Dr. Chantel Rodríguez explores the evolution of the bicycle in the late 19th century, as well as the cycling craze that followed. Chantel also examines how biking transformed mobility for both women and people in rural areas of the state, as well as the safety and structure of streets themselves. To gain insight into these questions, Chantel spoke with historian and bicycle planner Peter Bird, founder of Tamales y Bicicletas José Luis Villaseñor, and former city councilwoman and longtime Northfield resident Peggy Prowe.
