Take a drive with Doug Ohman and discover iconic landmarks in Pioneer PBS's viewing area. If you love local history and enjoy a good story, LANDMARKS will not disappoint.
Pioneer PBS’s local production “LANDMARKS: Minnesota Medal of Honor” features Medal of Honor recipients from the state.
The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration of the United States of America. This program recognizes the long tradition of the medal itself and honors those from Minnesota who sacrificed so much for our freedom. First issued during the Civil War, 72 residents of Minnesota have been recipients of this most prestigious medal.
Doug Ohman, photographer and LANDMARKS host, traces the lives of several of these Minnesota heroes through photographs, family memories and stories. People featured include Private Marshall Sherman who is buried in Oakland Cemetery in St. Paul, Axel Hayford Reed of Glencoe, where he is buried, and Alonzo Pickle of Sleepy Eye, where he is buried, among others.
LANDMARKS is produced by Timothy Hale Bakken with production assistance provided by Matthew Johnson.

NOTICE TO OUR VIEWERS
Recently, a construction crew working near a Pioneer PBS tower severed major power and fiber optic lines needed to keep Pioneer PBS broadcasting over the air on television. The damaged fiber cannot be fixed and new fiber must be installed. The station has ordered replacement fiber to be run. This event will only affect viewers who rely on over-the-air television. Our regular programming will continue on streaming services and online platforms.
