SUN January 12, 1982
“Burnsville, the Early Years,”
an audio-visual program, was recently produced by the Burnsville Chapter of the Dakota County Historical Society.
According to Jack Kennedy, secretary, the program features a visual,historical account of Burnsville and surrounding area from the pioneer days to the present.

A premiere showing of the audio visual program will be presented at 7p.m. Tuesday, January 19, at the Burnsville Community Library, 1101W. County Road 42.
This is the annual meeting of the Burnsville Chapter of the Dakota County Historical Society, and is open to the general public and chapter members.
Tina Robertson, chapter president, reported recently that more than 30 area residents have joined the organization since its inception.
Efforts are being made,she said, to expand the membership.
Robertson also reported that during the past year the organization had arranged for the reprinting of "Burnsville 76, a Community History," which had originally been printed in 1976 as a Bicentennial project.
Copies of the local history book are available at a cost of $10 at the Burnsville City Hall, or by calling Jack Kennelly at 646-7293 week days.
The 178-page book contains stories and photos about the community from the time of the Indians up until 1976.
Mail orders for the book will also be accepted by sending a check payable to Burnsville History, in care of Jack Kennelly, 2900 Keating Circle, Burnsville, Minn. 55337.
Among the chapter’s other goals is that of including the young people of the community in some of the historical projects, one of which is to identify and preserve a number of historic sites.
Through the cooperation of Bill Beehler, art teacher at Burnsville High School, eleven students agreed to some of these sites.
The drawings, according to Robertson, are of professional quality.
The chapter's past programs have included a slide presentation by Donna Scholta of Sky Oaks School,an oral presentation on tracing one's family history by Phillip Fox of Burnsville High School, and a video tape program of old-time residents.
Officers of the chapter, in addition to Robertson, include Len Nachman, vice president; Clare Kearney, treasurer; Jack Kennelly, secretary; and John Welckle and Dana Peters, board members.
