    Please save the date and join MERC for our Summer Education Meeting. We will be experiencing an afternoon of education, networking, and St. Paul history! Following our on-site education session, we will be touring the only remaining restored Gangster Era site, with extensive caves carved into the hillside. What was once a mine in the 1800’s turned mushroom farm, then later developed as a Restaurant Casino and Gangster’s Hotspot during the 1930’s, we will explore and partake in the history of this St. Paul gem. Stay tuned for more information on education and registration!
