An Evening of Feed Sacks

The Winneshiek County Historical Society is hosting an event on Saturday, June 28, 2025 celebrating the history of feed sacks in our county! This two-part evening will include an historical presentation by Linzee McCray at 6pm (at the Vesterheim Commons) and the opening of an exhibit at the WCHS Historic House (302 S. Mill St), which will contain items created out of feed sacks and an audiovisual installation by Rebecca Blumhagen highlighting and stories behind them.

If you have any feedsack items or memories you'd like to share with the project, please email Rebecca at ZmVlZHNhY2tzdG9yaWVzIHwgZ21haWwgISBjb20=!

This evening is free to all thanks to support provided by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Iowa Arts Council, which exists within the Iowa Economic Development Authority.
