The Minneapolis Police Museum received a wonderful gift today from Cathy Roehl Peterson!
It is a beautiful cloth souvenir from the Annual Minneapolis Police Picnic of July 10, 1895.
We have only ever seen one of these before, and it was not in very good shape and it had no year on it, so this piece is a real treasure for the museum.
Cathy’s father, Arthur John Roehl, was a Minneapolis Police Officer for 36 years.
We are grateful to Cathy for her generous donation.
Very nice gift to the museum!
Yes, we are very grateful for this gift!
