The Center for Third Street Furtherings (CfTSF) has been active in Winona for some time now—quietly observing, recording, and assembling a clearer picture of a place that resists easy definition. In partnership with the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, the Center is now accepting a limited cohort of Field Agent Trainees to assist with an active investigation led by Senior Collection Agent Andy DuCett.
Past, Present & Future Bar Bingo, a rousing gallery game inspired by Winona’s history and the places. The game invites participants to move between the museum and the city of Winona, past and present, and familiar places in Winona.
