Statewide History Partnership Projects

In order to share knowledge and resources between historical organizations, legacy legislation appropriated funding for projects carried out by history partnerships.

This funding has resulted in partnerships between the Minnesota Historical Society and more than 20 other organizations as well as 30 additional partnerships between other history minded groups.

These history partnerships will help to extend the reach of the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund across the state. Listed below are the partnership projects made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
