Historic Sites and Museums: MNHS operates 26 historic sites and museums throughout the state that allow people to access history through programs, exhibits, and tours. More than 826,600 visitors explored MNHS sites in FY25. Mill City Museum, Minnesota History Center, and Split Rock Lighthouse were the most-visited sites. The Minnesota History Center welcomed Girlhood (It's complicated), a traveling exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution, which showed how girls have spoken up, challenged expectations, and been on the front lines of social change. In addition to the traveling exhibit, the MNHS exhibits department developed a local component focused on girls' basketball called Minnesota (where girls shoot hoops). Split Rock Lighthouse initiated a restoration project to improve accessibility and provide visitors with an enhanced experience at the historic site. The project, which began in April, includes improvements to existing pathways and restoring historic circulation patterns within the historic core.
