            WELCOME TO THE HENNEPIN HISTORY MUSEUM 
                           The historical society of Hennepin County, Minnesota 
                                                                (612) 870-1329

The Hennepin History Museum is one of the Twin Cities' most unique social history museums. We offer superb exhibits, an historic mansion setting, and archival collections of priceless scholarly value.  HHM has evolved from the Hennepin County Territorial Pioneers Association in 1858 to the County Historical Society in 1938 to an award-winning history museum embracing a diverse range of cultures and social histories. Our exhibition and education programs have grown from a focus on original Hennepin County settlers to documenting the wide range of people who make up the county today. As one of Minnesota's most rapidly growing and diverse counties, Hennepin includes urban, suburban, and rural communities. You can find all of these stories in the exhibits, library, and outreach programs at the Hennepin History Museum.
