The Minnesota Historical Society offers fun, engaging field trip programs at 15 historic sites and museums around the state. Being in the places where history was made and where it is preserved gives students a better understanding of the past and how it relates to the present. Help your students connect with history!
Suggested EE Field Trips:
Mill City Museum - Power Track: The Waterfall That Boosted A City
Students become boosters for the blossoming city of Minneapolis in 1880. To do so, they must learn as much as they can about St. Anthony Falls, how the Mississippi provided resources for Minneapolis and how the river was changed to create power. Grades: 4-6.
Mill City Museum - Power Track: The River That Powered Minneapolis
Students discover the power that ran early industries in Minneapolis. Hands-on water activities show students how the Mississippi River and St. Anthony Falls influenced life in this newly developing city. Grades: K-3.
