Editorial Review for Minnesota History Center – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
With changing exhibits, a lengthy roster of special events and an inclusive attitude, this center offers a welcoming space for all Minnesotans. The center is home to thousands of artifacts, ranging from a 1950s Univac computer to the homemade boat that Gerry Spiess sailed across the Atlantic. While there are more family-friendly exhibits, sections like "Tales of the Territory" exhibit, with its thought-provoking multimedia look at Indian treaties, are more somber.
