60 Stories for 60 Years
On February 26, 2017, Maplewood, Minnesota turned 60 years old!
In honor of Maplewood's 60th anniversary, local history buffs teamed up to write one story about Maplewood history each week for the 60 weeks leading up to the anniversary. We hope you enjoy these stories.
Maplewood Area Historical Society (MAHS) has published the stories in book form, with introductory information. To purchase a copy, visit MAHS.
