The Historical and Cultural Society of Clay County presents History Sundays with Steve Stark, an illustrated history program series for all ages at the Hjemkomst Center. Like a story book unfolding before your eyes, Steve Stark tells fascinating stories about people in history while drawing charcoal caricatures on a 30-foot roll of paper.

Carl Ben Eielsen, a pilot from North Dakota, became a rugged adventurer in the Alaskan wilderness. He embarked on epic flights over the North Pole in 1927 and died two years later on a rescue mission in Siberia. Come learn more about the life and death of Carl Ben Eielsen. His life is what Hollywood movies are made of.
