Inver Grove Heights Schools Community History Harvest
Thank you for your interest in contributing YOUR story to the ISD 199 History Project! We are excited to learn more about your stories from the history of Inver Grove Heights Schools.
The purpose of this Community History Harvest is to add to our knowledge of ISD 199 schools and their history. At this event, you will share stories, photos, and memorabilia with volunteers who will photograph or scan your items, then give them right back to you. Later, those files will be added to our Inver Grove History archives to make your stories accessible to future generations.
