Edina: A Stroll through History


Adult / Lifelong Learning -
Adult Summer 2025

Join us for a walking tour that explores the rich and complex history of Edina. From its early days as a farming settlement to its evolution into a vibrant first-ring suburb, Edina has a fascinating story to tell—including chapters that are both inspiring and challenging. Learn about local architecture, hidden landmarks, and notable figures like B.C. Yancey. Discover what makes the Eastlake Style unique, and why part of the Edina Theater holds special historical significance. We’ll meet at the historic Cahill School and wrap up at 50th & France—come ready to walk, listen, and see Edina with fresh eyes.
