Give your students a field trip they’ll be talking about long after the bus ride home. At our sites and museums, students can explore the people, cultures, and events that have shaped our state.
In the Metro Area
Looking for a field trip that’s fun, educational—and local? Our iconic destinations include the Minnesota History Center, the Minnesota State Capitol, Mill City Museum, and more. Each site is led by expert guides who bring history off the page and into real life. Whether your students are learning about Indigenous history, early statehood, immigration, or industry, we’ve got a destination that fits your curriculum – and sparks imagination.
Beyond the Metro
MNHS offers a range of captivating sites throughout Greater Minnesota. Your students can explore sites such as the Split Rock Lighthouse, perched on Lake Superior’s rugged shore. Or perhaps you’d prefer to delve into the rich heritage of Indigenous cultures and traditions at the Mille Lacs Indian Museum and Trading Post or Jeffers Petroglyphs. The choice is yours, and the learning opportunities are boundless.
Accessible Education
We believe that every student should have access to enriching educational experiences. That’s why MNHS is committed to making history accessible. We offer scholarship funds and subsidies to help ease the financial burden of field trips and transportation costs.
