January 12, 1888

A blizzard strikes western Minnesota. Between 100 and 150 deaths are caused by the blizzard. Many of these were children returning home from school.

Thanks to Miss Gesme’s class at Cornelia Elementary in Edina for the research on January’s Day in History.

Thanks also to Minnesota’s Learn and Serve America Service Learning Program for their help.
