In 2016, Mica L. Anders— genealogist, oral historian, and historic placemaker—interviewed 7 families about their summer cabins for the Minnesota Historical Society. All of the people she talked to had two things in common: First, they spent every summer driving to Lake Adney near Brainerd, Minnesota. And second, they were all Black families.
Lake Adney became a destination in the 1920s when a Black man named George Worthington Gamble bought land along its southern shore. Since then, Adney has been a spiritual retreat, a great fishing spot, and a healing place for generations of Minnesotans. Lake Adney’s story isn’t unique. Black families have found community on lakes dotted across the upper Midwest. But, as these families attest, Adney was special. It was theirs. KFAI’s Kira Schukar brings us this story.
William “Bill” Murray Sr. passed away in 2018.
A special thank you to Mica L. Anders for sharing her expertise and conducting the interviews in this podcast. The full oral histories can be found on the Minnesota Historical Society website.
Additional funding for this story was provided by the Minnesota Historical Society and MNHS Image and Duplication Support for Community Projects.

There are many ways to mourn the loss of a loved one. Some find comfort in sharing stories and some find solace in nature. Out in the Sax-Zim Bog area, KFAI’s Matthew Schneeman found two families doing both. This story looks at both Camp Christopher and Auggie’s Bog Walk in Northern Minnesota.
Camp Christopher is a free trailer campsite for people who have lost someone to suicide. Auggie’s Bog Walk is a memorial boardwalk featuring small owl carvings. Both are testaments to the power of connecting with nature and connecting with others.
This month’s Fresh Air, Inc. Board of Directors meeting takes place on MONDAY, AUGUST 28, 2023, at 7:00 pm.
