  • 2012 Annual Report Online, Inadvertently Omitted Or Incorrectly Listed, Please Call the Development Office at Visit
    Annual Report FISCAL YEAR 2012 PRESIDENT’S letter One year ago, in this annual report letter, I expressed my belief that our state will benefit from the continued development and excellence of the Minnesota Historical Society. I believe that remains true today. An understanding of history, of the problems faced before and how they were (or were not) addressed, is one of the most valuable tools we have for understanding and addressing today’s issues. This past year, the Society produced two exhibits that demonstrate this point. Our extremely popular “The 1968 Exhibit” captured the challenges, issues and emotions of that remarkable year. The current “U.S.-Dakota War of 1862” exhibit, while focused on issues from 106 years before 1968, also clearly touches on emotions, issues and challenges that remain very real today in our state and beyond. But the Society also offers the pure aesthetic of history – from the innate beauty of everyday items from the past to the wonderful paintings in the exhibit “1934: A New Deal for Artists,” not to mention the creations displayed in RetroRama. The Minnesota Historical Society uses the power of history to transform lives. The Society has a remarkable staff, a dedicated governing board, and a growing number of members like you. Thank you all for your support. William R. Stoeri, President, Minnesota Historical Society Cover: A Meeting of the Grandfathers, by Lyle Miller, Sr. Painted for the Minnesota Historical Society, April 11, 2012. director AND CEO’S letter At the Minnesota Historical Society, we witness daily how Minnesotans – young and old – are moved through the power of history.

  • 50 Coolest Free Places in Dakota County
    50 COOLEST FREE PLACES IN DAKOTA COUNTY Dakota County is home to many interesting, free and sometimes surprising local attractions. Below are 50 of the coolest sites - in no particular order - based on recommendations from residents and my own travels throughout our scenic county. For an online version of these locations on Google maps, go to: https://bit.ly/2AiLO1s 1. Chimney Rock (near Hastings) Towering nearly 30 feet high, this rare sandstone pillar is the last of three water- and wind- sculpted spires still standing in Dakota County. Dating back 14,000 years to the time of the last receding glacier, Chimney Rock served as a landmark for settlers moving into the area in the 1800's. For decades Chimney Rock hovered near the top of a DNR list of unusual areas needing protection, and in 2012 it became the star attraction of a 76-acre wooded tract purchased by the DNR and Dakota County. The $80,000 in county funds came from a county bond issue approved by voters in 2002 to preserve farm and natural areas. For more info and directions: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/snas/detail.html?id=sna02040 2. Pine Bend Bluffs (Inver Grove Heights) People are amazed to find this stunning 256-acre Scientific and Natural Area with its spectacular views of the Mississippi River Valley located just a few hundred feet off of Hwy 52/55 at 111th Street. Situated 200 feet above the river, the Pine Bend Bluffs SNA is one of the least disturbed sites along the river in the Twin Cities and is home to numerous rare and endangered species, including James' polanisia and butternut, kitten-tails and the red-shouldered hawk.

For MPR’s General Manager Tim Roesler, connecting as many Minnesotans as possible—regardless of their ties to MPR—to the state’s rich range of arts and cultural resources is key. “It’s been MPR's goal with our Legacy funded projects and partners,” Roesler says, “to get outside of our traditional programming and to promote and preserve Minnesota's amazing arts and cultural heritage.” With all projects, MPR’s Legacy activity “highlights and strengthens the arts and cultural vibrancy of the communities where Minnesotans live. As an organization that reaches the entire state, we are uniquely situated to do just that.” The report below provides descriptions of each of the projects that were supported in part by Minnesota Public Radio’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund grants, broken down by fiscal year. Additionally, an impact section illustrates how these Arts and Cultural Heritage Funded projects contributed to the cultural vibrancy of the state of Minnesota.
