Shakopee in the 1930s In the 1930s there were 2,416 people who lived in Shakopee. And in that same town, there were more than 27 bars! The names and locations of the various bars in Shakopee will be discussed along with some stories of the people who lived in Shakopee during Prohibition. Weird andWonderful in Early Shakopee The barbershop that collapsed, the rats that invaded downtown, and the Japanese American young adults from the Gila River War Relocation project who arrived at the Shakopee NYA Center, along with visitors to Shakopee such as presidents, the famous flyer Charles Lindbergh, and the father of RedWing Pottery will all be covered in this session. After the use of canoes, ships, and horses, the beginning of the 1900s was a transportation revolution. Planes were utilized, as well as trains, which switched the focus from the Minnesota River to the railroad tracks, and the cars began overtaking the roads over time. This presentation will discuss some of the stories about transportation in the 1900s. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles: Transportation in Early Shakopee
