Resilient: Life and Death on Lake Minnetonka with Steve Kobs

Little known stories connect Excelsior with historic events like the Minneapolis truck drivers’ strike and riot, the origin of Roller Derby, and early steps towards equality for women. A cow, some very productive bees, a midnight snack, and one particular spot on a roller coaster all contributed to tragic outcomes. See how area families responded when faced with the unthinkable.
