Dagmar, For general lace history in the US, you're looking at an awfully big subject to research. I'm glad you're trying to perhaps (hopefully) narrow it to just Minnesota for now.
Further to Jeri's suggestion of the Ipswich Lace Industry book, there was also an article in PieceWork several years ago on the laces made by Native Americans. The reference is: Dwyer,M. "Sybil Carter's legacy: Native American lace", in, PieceWork 1(3), November-December 1994, pp 66-71. Good luck with the demonstration and research.!
