The motion picture room of the once popular Opera House now sits quietly in the shadows of time. If those old walls could talk, they could tell stories of packed crowds, laughter, romance, western shootouts, and the excitement of Saturday night movies long ago.

Broken glass advertising plates still rest on the floor as silent reminders of a bygone era. The projector room may now be still, but the history of this remarkable building continues to live on.

The Opera House is open for tours this weekend. Step back in time and experience one of Sleepy Eye’s hidden treasures.

Call 507-766-2523 to schedule your tour and learn the history.

My latest book has arrived!

Forgotten Soldier tells the stories of young men from Sleepy Eye who proudly served in the Armed Forces. These men were true HEROES. Some returned home carrying memories of war forever, while others made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

I wrote this book so these brave young men and their stories would never be forgotten. With Memorial Day approaching, it is important we remember those who fought for our freedom and honor the sacrifices they made for all of us.

Inside this book are the stories of many courageous young men from Sleepy Eye who answered the call to serve during times of war. It is a powerful and emotional read filled with local history, patriotism, sacrifice, and honor.

You can purchase a signed copy through Venmo for $26. Please include your address and I will personally mail you a first printed edition copy. Due to the strong early interest, a second printing has already been ordered.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support my books, history page, and storytelling. Together we will continue keeping the memories of Sleepy Eye alive for future generations.
