Meet the Bunnells: The Children
2025-09-06 14:00 - 15:00 (America/Chicago) | Bunnell House, 36106 Old Homer Road Homer, MN, Homer, Minnesota, 55987
During “Meet the Bunnells: The Children,” a knowledgeable speaker will offer you an encounter the young Bunnells against the backdrop of their 19th-century home. Willard and Matilda Bunnell had three sons and five daughters. The children lived out their early years on a frontier homestead along the Mississippi River in Homer, MN — a challenging time and place for families. Lafayette never had children, and Willard’s line ended with these children. Therefore, no one with the name Bunnell is a direct relative of this particular Bunnell family.

You will hear their stories, some through language interpreters, of how they left their home countries and came to the United States for a better and safer life for their families. Project FINE (Focus on Integrating Newcomers through Education) has been serving refugees and immigrants in Winona County and the surrounding area since 1990. Hear the personal and inspirational stories of immigrants who have chosen to call Winona home.
