Sinclair Lewis
In 1930, Sinclair Lewis became the first American to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Why is Lewis Important?
“Critics praised him, claiming that his writing represented the culture of the 1920s and 1930s. Mark Schorer, in his exhaustive biography, notes regarding Lewis’ work, ‘American culture seems always to have had a literary spokesman, a single writer who presented American culture and American attitudes toward its culture, to the world.’ Lewis was that author. The titles of two of his novels, Main Street and Babbitt, were introduced into the American vocabulary. These words developed their own cultural meanings.”
Dr. Sally E. Parry of the Sinclair Lewis Society
Sinclair Lewis Writers’ Conference
The 2015 Sinclair Lewis Writers’ Conference will be held in Sauk Centre on July 15-17. There will be events open to the public each evening, including the keynote speaker on the evening of July 15 at the First Lutheran Church. “I think the Sinclair Lewis Writers Conference in Sauk Centre is one of the best values going in the Midwest. It allows aspiring writers to plug in for a day with wellknown authors and fellow book lovers. You’ll learn a lot, and it’s downright fun.” Will Weaver
Visit the Sinclair Lewis Boyhood Home and Sinclair Lewis Museum
Every year, over 8,000 people from all over the world tour the Sinclair Lewis Museum. In addition, over 500 tour the Sinclair Lewis Boyhood Home.
S
inclair Lewis, the first American to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, was
born in Sauk Centre on Feb. 7,1885, and raised here. The town was his inspiration for Main Street, the satirical novel of small-town life that brought him worldwide fame. The home, located at 810 Sinclair Lewis Ave., which also for a time served as the office for Dr. Lewis’ medical practice, has been restored with antiques appropriate to the period. Many rooms contain items that were known to belong to the Lewis family. Tour guides can tell you much about the house, Lewis’ family and boyhood. The home is open June - August for guided tours. Call the Chamber at 320352-5201 for daily hours. Admission charged. The museum is located at 1220 Main St. S. Call 320352-5201 or visit us at www. sinclairlewisfoundation.com.

INNESOTA HOME SCHOOL PROPERTY National Registry of Historic Districts Description courtesy of www.placeography.org and www.mnhs.org-shpo Located on the north end of Sauk Centre, this property is now the Eagle’s Healing Nest, a home for soldiers trying to reintegrate into society.
It was established in 1907 by an act of the legislature as the State Industrial School for Girls, to provide for the care, training and education of girls who had been declared delinquent and committed by the courts. The school was built in 1911 as the Minnesota Home School for Girls. Architect Clarence H. Johnston, Sr. incorporated Colonial and Classical Revival elements into the buildings. The school facility then included an administration building, hospital, chapel, pumping plant, farm building, and cottages to house 160 girls. Girls who had been inmates at the State Training School for Boys, later the Red Wing State Training School, were transferred to the facility. All of the policies of the State Training School in Red Wing relating to inmate commitment, education, training and general operations were applied to the Home School for Girls as well. Girls were committed when convicted by the court of any crime, except that of murder, which was punishable by imprisonment. Entering inmates ranged in age from eight to sixteen years, and remained at the school until they reached age twenty-one, or were discharged. Girls received common school education and instruction in sewing, cooking, laundering, general housework skills and farming. The buildings on the property considered as having historical significance include the Alcott Cottage; the Richard Cottage; the Stowe Cottage; the Sullivan Cottage; Morse Hall; the chapel; Lind Cottage; Sinclair Lewis Hall; Evers Cottage; the equipment garage; the horse barn; the machine shed; Mary Lyon Annex; Mary Lyon School; Pettit Cottage; the maintenance building; the chapel garage; the lake cottage; and the root cellar. Other buildings include the fine arts building; the Tekakitha Cottage; the DuBois Cottage; Senator Popp Building; the bungalow garage; and the storage garage.

auk Centre offers the best in lake recreation, whether it is canoeing down the Sauk River, tubing or water skiing on Fairy Lake, or fishing for bass and walleye on Sauk Lake. Not many small towns can offer such a variety of options for lake enthusiasts. Fairy Lake is home of Fairy Lake Beach and Lions Park and is a popular spot for beach goers, water skiers and jet skiers. The fishing isn’t too shabby either and produces panfish, walleye and northern. The Sauk River is located below the dam in Sauk Centre and is a popular spot for anglers as well as canoers. And then there is Sauk Lake, one of the best bass lakes in Minnesota. Every year trophy-sized bass are caught on Sauk Lake, which is home to an everyother-year bass fishing tournament. But bass isn’t the only species this large body of water produces. The lake is also a good panfish lake with a good crappie and sunfish bite. The crappies are especially strong in the winter months, and Sauk Lake is a popular spot for anglers to plant their ice shacks. The walleye bite has also improved thanks to a stocking effort several years ago. And there are plenty of trophy northern swimming along the channels. It is not uncommon for an angler to pull a 15- to 20-pound fish out of the Sauk Lake waters. There are several resorts on Sauk Lake that are clean, affordable and friendly. So if you are planning a vacation where you’d like to have the best of recreation and angling, Sauk Centre is the place to be.

Eagles Healing Nest On a wing and a prayer, and by joining hands and hearts, Eagle’s Healing Nest was created in 2012 to serve veterans suffering from the after-effects of war. With veteran suicides reaching staggering heights, veteran advocate Melony Butler saw an opportunity with the 124-acre campus located in Sauk Centre that used to serve as a home school for women and a correctional facility. On her first day visiting the sprawling campus, an eagle flew high above her and landed in its nest on the property. For Butler, it was a sign that she had found a home for veterans to heal with honor. With the help of countless volunteers, Butler formed Eagle’s Healing Nest, which focuses on veteran-to-veteran counseling, as well as professional services to help soldiers heal after returning from war. Since its inception, the Nest has grown one branch at a time and now has 72 available beds with hopes of expanding further. Veterans at the Eagle’s Nest do the cooking, the cleaning, the landscaping and take care of the animals at the barn called “Legacy of Love.” That is where horses and chickens and a friendly billygoat reside that help the veterans find peace and a purpose. Most importantly, the veterans are allowed to talk to each other, and share their experiences with those who have witnessed and lived the similar fates of war. Since the first veteran was housed at the Nest, many have soared to be reunited with their families and regain their footing in society. Recently the Nest was able to purchase the property and put it into a trust for veterans to have as a place to heal forever. What started as a wing and a prayer has turned into a place of hope for the veterans all over the United States who have selflessly served their country to protect our freedoms.
