The Seifert quads put Sleepy Eye on the map when they were born to Art and Dolores Seifert at the Sleepy Eye Hospital 71 years ago. Through the years their birthday celebrations have been regularly noted in the Herald-Dispatch. Last year, the quads’ big 70th birthday party was canceled due to the pandemic. On Saturday, May 1, they got another chance and gathered in New Ulm with family members for a 71st birthday party.

The Depot Museum opens for the season on Saturday, May 1, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Opening day will also be the first day the 2021 Sleepy Eye Christmas Ornament is available for purchase. To celebrate the May Day opening and ornament introduction, refreshments will be available.
Several years ago the Sleepy Eye Area Historical Society became the organization to produce the annual collectible ornament. Each year, SEAHS chooses a historical photo from the museum’s collection to feature on the ornament.
For 2021 the Sleepy Eye Ornament features a 1921 photo of the Opera House, an establishment for theater and musical entertainment which occupied the second floor of the building we now know as the Palace. The building, a fixture in downtown Sleepy Eye, was erected in 1895.
