OUR STORIES

In moments of heightened civic tension around immigration and belonging, Rethos is grounding the conversation in place: how communities form, endure, and adapt over time. Riverside Plaza offers a powerful lens for that reflection. Riverside Plaza: Cedar-Riverside’s Legacy of Community, History, and Resilience The Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis is one of the Twin Cities’ most storied and distinctive places: a crossroads of culture, home, and community life shaped

We are pleased to announce that we raised over $95,000 for Rethos’ mission and programs. Contributions during our gala help fund initiatives like Minnesota Main Streets, Doors Open Minneapolis, the Duluth Lighthouse, and advocacy efforts like the CUB credit—each one making a lasting impact in preserving and reimagining the places we love.

We've revamped OHC! We're still offering the two-day course, but it has been restructured.

On Saturday, October 4, Rethos proudly brought the Doors Open event to Duluth for the very first time. More than 325 participants made at least 1,250 visits across the 10 Lincoln Park venues. 

The Minnesota Main Streets program is preparing for its twelfth Deep Dive event.

I invite the supporters of Rethos to learn more about our Main Street program and visit these communities. Historic buildings give an immediate unique sense of place to each of our program areas, so preservation is a key element to Design and Promotion – two of the Main Street Four Point Approaches™.

The Federal Office of Management and Budget has finally opened the gates on the Historic Preservation Funds that had been withheld, despite being appropriated by Congress many months ago.
