Fully tax-deductible donations of all sizes to the Minnesota Historical Society’s Annual Fund help MNHS provide ongoing support for programs that help students make connections between the past and the present.

MNHS programs inspire young people to examine, engage and understand, better preparing them to be discerning, well-informed leaders.

Last year:

27,000 students at 193 schools participated in National History Day in Minnesota
223,133 field trip visitors
Northern Lights student textbook served 60,600 students, or 83% of Minnesota's 6th graders
Gale Family Library at the History Center welcomed 22,200 researchers
2,425 items were added to MNHS collections

And all of these programs depend on consistent, Annual Fund support from donors like you.
