94 Stories Time Machine
December 7 @ 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Join us at Springboard for the Arts for a Saint Paul history variety show! The 94 Stories Time Machine is modeled after similar community history events in North Minneapolis and Cedar-Riverside. Residents from Saint Paul who live near the I-94 corridor will share stories and creative presentations that convey their experience with the built environment of their neighborhoods.
Community history can impact decision makers now and build power for the future. In the fall of 2025, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) continues to engage communities about the Rethinking I-94 project and consider design alternatives for the corridor from the Marion Street exit in St. Paul to Hiawatha Avenue in Minneapolis. Still, many voices have not been heard.
94 Stories is a creative oral history project that seeks to empower communities by gathering stories and sharing community archive resources and techniques. The project will add more community voices to Twin Cities archives for current and future research and advocacy use.
