Project Overview
The mission of the Minnesota Civil War Commemoration Task Force is to promote and share the rich history of the American Civil War and Minnesota's connection to it. With support from the Legacy Amendment's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, the task force is overseeing the development of statewide, balanced activities commemorating the Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War and Minnesota's involvement in it and the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862. Activities are intended to result in a positive legacy, long-term public benefit and education. The task force, created by an Executive Order from Governor Mark Dayton, is co-chaired by Secretary of State Mark Ritchie and State Representative Dean Urdahl and comprises state legislators, citizens and a Minnesota Historical Society staff person.
