We were there. Our deck was overflowing that day!

Who was at Canal Park to in 1976 to the Christian Radich, a full rigged three masted steel hull ship from Norway? Did they just show up? Come to Charting a New Course: How Duluth Harnessed "The Spirit of '76" to find out.
The Christian Radich sailed to the United States in 1976 as part of the Bicentennial Celebration. She was in New York on July 4, 1976. The vessel was built for training sailors for the Norwegian merchant navy, and did so for many years. Courtesy of the MN Minnesota Digital Library. Check out

We are sad to announce the passing of Rick (Odie, known to us) Finckler, one of Grandma’s original employees. His dedication and passion for collecting and curating helped create Grandma’s in 1976 and continue its endeavors since then. While we mourn this loss, we celebrate a remarkable legacy that will be admired for generations to come.
