Shoreview Girl Scouts – Tell Your Story
To help commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the SHS, Shoreview Girl Scouts, Maria Nisswandt and Anna Gutzwiller, will work on their Gold Award (equivalent to the Eagle Scout Award) by conducting interviews of some Shoreview’s early residents. If you, or someone you know, would like to be interviewed, please contact a SHS Board member.
We have completed all the interviews, we are now trying to write out
the transcripts.

Guerin Garage Project Moves Ahead
Shoreview City Council has approved a plan that moves ahead the restoration and siting of the old Roy Guerin garage structure, a move urged by the SHS and Guerin relatives. The small structure was salvaged after the garage went out of business years ago and is one of a few remaining business structures from the city in the 1930s. The unit was moved to Custom Stainless Steel, Inc., last month for restoration work. After surveying several sites, the Art Larson farm home grounds at Lexington Avenue and County Road I was selected to be the preferred location. Both the City and SHS have spent considerable time and careful planning on the project.
The SHS has been awarded a $3600 grant from the Shoreview Community Foundation to be used for the restoration
of the windows of the Guerin Gas Station.
An agreement has been executed with Les Jones Roofing to begin the restoration project.
Celebrating 20 Years 1991-2011
It all began with a small ad in the Shoreview Press.
This was the announcement that planted the idea of having a Shoreview Historical Society back in 1990 in the Shoreview Press. It attracted several persons with an interest in history who helped provide initial guidance.
Highlights of our first 20 years:
- Bus tour of historical aspects of Shoreview
- Bus tour to MN Historical Society to learn about preservation
