Second Legacy Grant awarded

   The City of Hackensack and the Hackensack Log Cabin Lending Library were awarded their second Minnesota Historical & Cultural Heritage Grant for research and nomination for listing on the Historic National Register.

   Rolf Anderson, preservation specialist who researched the building’s historical significance in 2021 will be returning to Hackensack to continue research and present his findings in the fall to the state board who will determine if the building is qualified to be listed by the National Park Service on the Register.

   “The journey to Historic National Register status is long, arduous, and ultimately very rewarding for any community.  We are grateful to the city of Hackensack and our dedicated, committed volunteers, for their continued support,”  said Maggie McGill, president of the Lending Library non-profit corporation.
