Hennepin History Museum is excited to announce we are partnering with Preserve Minneapolis as part of the museum’s new Program Partners initiative. This is the final lecture in Preserve Minneapolis’s Minneapolis History Lecture Series this winter.

Ride along for an exciting and illustrated history of streetcars in Minneapolis, including where remnants of the streetcar system can still be found today.  At its peak, the system had 524 miles of track and could take you from Lake Minnetonka areas all the way to White Bear Lake, Stillwater and Bayport.  The system was in operation from 1872 to 1954.

Aaron Isaacs has volunteered with the Minnesota Streetcar Museum for 50 years, edits their quarterly history magazine and is the author of three books on Minnesota streetcar history.

Doors open at 6:15pm.

Free parking is available in the museum’s lot and on 3rd Ave S.

This program will also be presented virtually on Zoom. Click HERE to register for the Zoom presentation.
