Legacy Letters Short Films
Partner Organizations: 1000 Friends of Minnesota (renamed Envision Minnesota), Twin Cities Public Television (TPT)
Through this partnership, Minnesota history will be made more accessible to thousands of Minnesotans. The "Legacy Letters" project will result in up to 25 one-minute films that draw their content from a sampling of the 150 people, places, organizations, events and natural features of the state as compiled by the Minnesota Historical Society's MN 150 exhibit and book.
Currently 22 "Legacy Letters" air between regular programming on TPT's Minnesota Channel. This additional round of Legacy Letters will expand and deepen the topics covered in the first round of visual essays to include Minnesota's history, defined by law as a natural resource.
