Prairie Meadows Senior Living Partners with Dodge County Historical Society to Bring Local History to Residents

Posted

KASSON, MN – Prairie Meadows Senior Living, managed by Jaybird Senior Living, is pleased to announce a new partnership with the Dodge County Historical Society. This collaboration aims to bring history and connection to the residents of Prairie Meadows, fostering community engagement and preserving local heritage.

The partnership began when members of the Dodge County Historical Society attended a "Sipping with Seniors" event at Prairie Meadows. From there, the idea emerged to bring elements of local history directly to the senior living community.

Aligned with Jaybird Senior Living's year-long celebration titled "A Tapestry of Time: Stitching Together Our Story" which honors the diverse stories of the past, the partnership with the Dodge County Historical Society feels like a natural fit. Residents will have the chance to engage with history through curated exhibits and informative displays.

As part of the collaboration, Prairie Meadows will feature a portion of an exhibit curated by the Dodge County Historical Society. This exhibit will include informative posters and artifacts, providing residents with insights into the region's past. Additionally, new items will be periodically introduced to keep the experience fresh and engaging.

Jason Burmeister, Director of Prairie Meadows Senior Living, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, saying, "We're excited to bring a piece of our community's history into Prairie Meadows. This collaboration allows our residents to connect with their roots and learn more about the area they call home."

The partnership between Prairie Meadows Senior Living and the Dodge County Historical Society highlights a shared commitment to enriching the lives of seniors and preserving local history in the Kasson community.
