Project Overview
MNHS is engaged in cultivating meaningful relationships with adult audiences as lifelong learners, members, donors, volunteers and supporters. The Writing Your Family Legacy Conference, held in partnership with the Loft Literary Center, returned for a second year. Participants learned how to research, write and preserve their family legacy at this all-day event. In FY17, the new MNHS Prime experiences launched for the lifelong learning audience, and included a history and dinner program series. In spring 2017, a new program, History Today, will launch. The program uses the History Live! interactive teleconferencing platform to connect senior communities with the Minnesota History Center for real-time conversations. Participants will explore artifacts and discuss unique stories from Minnesota history. Each week, there will be a different theme with curators, authors and museum professionals on hand to answer questions. The program will be offered as a free three-month trial, with the option of signing up for a year-long subscription.
