The centennial of the end of World War I, the armistice, was celebrated in Fillmore County this fall. Lanesboro hosted this event in the form of the pop-up plays, Lanesboro 1918, presented by History Alive Lanesboro and the Lanesboro American Legion.
The original celebration in 1918 involved Civil War veteran George Dolphin shooting off an old cannon 13 times from the bluff over the town! The celebration in September 2018 avoided the cannon excitement, but provided many other forms of celebration.
