Stephanie Kibler, executive director of the History Center of Freeborn County, presents the organization’s first-ever Historic Preservation Award to Mark Habben and the other owners of The Broadway in downtown Albert Lea. Pictured, in back, from left, are Robert and Angie Hoffman, Luke Routh, Jon Murray and Ron Eriksmoen. In front, from left, are Titiana Sanchez, Risha Lilienthal and Kibler, all with the History Center, and Mark and Emma Habben and Kelsey Routh. Not pictured are co-owners Abby Murray and Brittany Eriksmoen. Kibler said The Broadway was nominated and voted on by the board for the award. “It’s not just about the preservation you’ve done here, but by doing this you’ve preserved the community,” Kibler said. “And the fact that it’s used as a community space is awesome.” In future years, members of the public will be able to nominate individuals, homes or businesses for the award.
