Big Year of Rivers Book Club: This Tender Land

Mississippi Gateway Regional Park 10360 W River Rd, Brooklyn Park

Join us for this two-part program. Read the book “This Tender Land” and hear local author, William Kent Krueger, speak about his book that has characters traveling down the Mississippi River. In the first session, Three Rivers staff will present the historical and ecological context to the book. The second session will include a short, small-group discussion followed by a presentation from the author for the book as it relates to the Big Year of Rivers. Participants provide their own book. This program meets on April 23 and June 4.

The Sacred Water Shared Future campaign is powered by you! The heart of this centennial celebration is the incredible variety of events planned and hosted by our partners — community groups, nonprofits, businesses, schools, and individuals who feel a connection to the Mississippi River.

We do not host events ourselves; instead, we serve as a central hub for river-focused activities happening across the Twin Cities throughout 2026.
