Celebrate Minnesota Day With a History Museum Visit
Did you know that March 1 is National Minnesota Day? The Twin Cities are ideal for celebrating all that makes life in Minnesota so special, whether you've recently been shopping for Minneapolis homes for sale or you've already called the state home for many years. One great way to celebrate National Minnesota Day is with a trip to the Minnesota History Center, located around the corner from St. Paul homes for sale and bringing the history of Minnesota to life through fascinating exhibits, inspiring live performances, and wide-ranging educational programs. Here's what to expect from the Minnesota History Center, along with some tips to help you make the most of your visit.
Minnesota History Center – 345 W. Kellogg Blvd., St. Paul, MN 55102
Hours: Wednesday, Friday – Sunday – 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., Thursday 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.
Tickets: Available Online or On-Site
- Explore Exciting Exhibits Designed for All Ages
The amazing collection of permanent and rotating exhibits at the Minnesota History Center will provide the core of your experience when you visit. Exciting exhibits like Sherlock Holmes: The Exhibition are built to be enjoyed by visitors of all ages. Other popular exhibits include Minnesota's Greatest Generation, which covers state history during the 1930s, and Weather Permitting, which details Minnesota's weird, wild history of weather. Some great exhibits are geared especially toward kids, with experiences like Then Now Wow and Grainland, which provide a healthy helping of educational, interactive fun. - Discover the History of Minnesota and the Twin Cities
Whether you're a recently arrived resident interested in learning about the history of your new state or a long-time Minnesotan who wants to uncover unique stories about state history, the Minnesota History Center is the perfect place to indulge your curiosity. The Our Home: Native Minnesota exhibit provides a deep look into the lives of the Native populations who have called the region home for many centuries, through an immense collection of photographs, maps, and artifacts. - Research Stories That Have Shaped Minnesota History at the Gale Family Library
If you want to further research all things Minnesota, consider scheduling an appointment with the Gale Family Library. The library is only open by appointment at this time, but it's well worth a visit if you're interested in doing serious research. There's tons of data here on prominent Minnesota families, the history of Minnesota communities, and so much more, all waiting to be discovered with robust research tools. - Visit the Museum Shop for Minnesota-Themed Gifts, Home Decor, and More
Why not celebrate National Minnesota Day with a fun, Minnesota-themed decoration, gift item, or book? The Museum Shop features a vast collection of uniquely Minnesotan items crafted by local artisans and businesses from all around the state. - Become a Member to Support the Center and Unlock Unique Perks
