Maple Hill Cemetery was located at Broadway & Fillmore NE. Established in 1857 and closed in 1890. In 1935, the area was called Folwell Playground. This area has also been called Maple Hill Park and is currently known as Beltrami Park. Most graves were removed to Lakewood Cemetery or Hillside Cemetery. (italics mine)

This is one cool tidbit that we talked about at Tuesday's meeting. We spent much of the evening in our three Walking Tour groups defining the area our walks will take, checking in about what each walk might be missing, and filling in specific places on the walks we want to for sure include.
The three areas of the Audio-Guided Walking Tours are pretty much figured out now. We will be walking each route over the next week to see how long they actually are and see what landmarks we might have missed as we've talked about them. We hope for each walk, in it's final form, to last about 30 to 45 minutes.
Another cool thing we did during the meeting was learn the basics of how to record an interview and how to use the recording device and microphones. We will begin to set up interviews with people in the NE community in the next week or two and to research buildings, areas, and stories from our Walk routes so we can have informed interviews, know what kind of questions we have, and what we know already and want to know more about.
The 'Trolley Tour' group was thinking about it as the 5 W's: Who, What, Where, When, and Why? Start to fill in the answers to those questions and you will be left with what info. you still need to get from interviews or more research.
Still snowing? C'mon!
Please leave a comment or question below and thanks for checkin' out the ArtShare blog.
P.S. Reminder that there's no workshop meeting next week (Spring Break - April 7).
There are several groups on Facebook that have NE Mpls as their common interest. Maybe it would be a good idea to notify them of this website or at least invite them to the tours debut.
