Timeless Treasures
In 2008, Minnesota celebrated 150 years of statehood, giving us a chance to look back at the area’s amazing history. Bone up on local tales at the Minnesota History Center’s MN150 exhibit in Saint Paul. Then immerse yourself in history with a walk down Summit Avenue—the longest remaining stretch of residential Victorian architecture in the country.
