Unlock the secrets of your past with a cup of joe at Cleary Lake Regional Park. If you're 50 or older and fancy a dive into your family history while cozying up by a fireplace, Scott County's got a treat in store for you.

 Set for Tuesday, March 19, from 10 to 11:30 AM, the park is hosting a session where seniors can learn how to trace their lineage, using old newspapers as the key to unlocking bygone stories, as per Scott County, Minnesota.

It's not just a history lesson, either. Participants are encouraged to bring in their treasured photos, maps, or documents for digital scanning, free of charge, ensuring safekeeping and easy sharing.

A Historical Interpreter will be there to share local tales and guide attendees through the tools and resources available for personal ancestry research. The price of nostalgia? A mere $6, hot beverages included, but make sure you call 763-559-6700 to reserve your spot four days prior, according to the Scott County, Minnesota.
