McGregor Historical Society Board President Mel Wild speaks about the Great River Road Discovery Center, which he said will be a unique destination for the area.

McGregor Historical Society board member Corky Bickel concluded the meeting by asking attendees to commit to a self-fulfilling prophecy. “If the project is right, it will happen. If the vision is right, it will happen. The only inhibiting factor we have is our own limitation of vision,” he reflected.
