The Darrell W. Krueger Library is closed today in observance of Juneteenth.

Ever wondered who Holzinger Lodge is named after?

The students at Winona Normal School learned botany in the field -- literally.

Their professor, John Holzinger, taught them during outdoor excursions and through specimens that he had spent years collecting. The Winona Republican-Herald wrote that during his time, Holzinger had “laid the foundation upon which a greater part of the present day men and women of southeastern Minnesota have built their knowledge and love of the outdoors.”

One of the botany classes appears here, about to cycle away to their next open-air "classroom."
