Wayzata Community Ed

This class will cover the history and development of the American Automobile in the 1950s, an extraordinary decade of development and fads. Cars perfectly mirrored America's post-war optimism and middle class prosperity. Boys fanaticized over dream cars in motor magazines. Everyone looked forward to the rollout of next year's models. Status could be told with a glance. The public's newfound fascination with the space-age was reflected in styling motifs and jet-themed dashboards. The decade was marked by horsepower wars, Ford Vs Chevy and when longer and lower made every car of the previous year look hopelessly out of date. Simply put, cars were fun. Let's take a ride through the '50s when cars were colorful, fins went wild and chrome was slathered on by the yard.

Wayzata has been the gateway to Lake Minnetonka since 1867, when the Saint Paul & Pacific Railroad first reached the town. For many years, boats met passengers at the foot of Broadway Avenue and brought them to various destinations around the lake. Who used the boats and where were they going? What kinds of businesses greeted them in Wayzata? Come walk on a guided tour of what was once six, short blocks called Lake Street in the late 1800s. See where trains, boats, and horse-drawn wagons converged to propel commerce in a village with 132 residents. Learn about the people who were part of it. Hosted by members of the Wayzata Historical Society, the tour will start and end at the Wayzata Depot (402 East Lake Street). Eight sites will be highlighted for their prominence in Wayzata history.
