SUMMARY:Apollo Club Returns to Stillwater
DESCRIPTION:The Washington County Historical Society is proud to present “Our Songs\, Our Stories: Apollo\nClub Returns to Stillwater” on Saturday\, June 13\, 2026 at 3:00pm. For 130 years\, The Apollo\nClub has stood as a monument to artistry\, leadership\, and cultural excellence. The award-\nwinning\, all-male choral group’s roots are deeply connected to Minnesota’s history\, including\nleadership from Charles McCormick Reeve\, former Warden of the Stillwater Prison and Apollo\nClub’s first president. \nA century ago\, Apollo Club performed regularly in Stillwater for members of the Country Club\nas well as convicts at the State Prison. “Our Songs\, Our Stories” will include both history and\nsongs to honor Apollo Club’s legacy rooted in brotherhood\, music\, and community. Historian\nHeidi Heinze\, director of the Warden’s House Museum\, will begin the presentation with a\nslideshow about the Club\, its founder\, and the impact both have had on Minnesota\, America\, and\nthe world. The melodious Apollites will then entertain the audience with their final performance\nof the season. This historic homecoming concert will showcase music from the Club’s extensive\nlibrary\, old standards\, patriotic tunes\, and some new favorites. \nThis event is being generously hosted by the Manitou Fund\, at their Arts and Education Center at\n601 N. Main Street in Stillwater. The former Minnesota Zephyr building is now a state of the art\nperformance space combined with community education and reception areas overlooking the\nbeautiful St. Croix River. \nThe Warden’s House Museum\, 602 N. Main Street\, located across the street\, was once the home\nof the Apollo Club’s founder\, Charles McCormick Reeve. It was acquired by the Washington\nCounty Historical Society in 1941 and opened as a museum that year to share the stories of the\nprison\, wardens\, and inmates. Attendees of the “Our Songs\, Our Stories” concert can tour the\nmuseum for the discounted admission of $8.00. The Warden’s House will be open from noon\nuntil 8:00 on Saturday\, June 13\, 2026. \nPlease join us for an evening that reflects on our origins while celebrating the enduring power of\nsong to connect our past\, present\, and future. \nTickets are available at TicketSpice.com or follow this link to the pay-what-you-choose ticket\npage https://theapolloclubmn.ticketspice.com/apollo-club-returns-to-stillwater. \nTickets prices are at a “pay what you choose” basis\, see website link for more details.
