This traveling exhibit features 23 reproduction maps and atlases, including an 1863 map by Louis Hennepin of the upper Mississippi Valley; a video station with commentary by local historians; a bin of laminated maps that allows for an up-close look at Minnesota geography and history; and an oversized jigsaw puzzle map of the state that provides an engaging element for school children and other young visitors. It will be on view through Jan 16.
The Minnesota Historical Society Traveling exhibits program is funded by the 2008 Legacy Amendment and made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
