Now more than ever, our community is grateful for the sacrifices that healthcare professionals make every day.
Local Heroes, our newest exhibit, traces the long tradition of people willing to devote themselves to caring for others even in the face of adversity. Local Heroes pays tribute to these healers and caretakers by exploring stories of medical innovation, trailblazing, and exceptional dedication to the field of healthcare throughout early Hennepin County history.
Hennepin History Museum brings the diverse history of people in Hennepin County to life. We help people understand their world through an exploration of local history with exhibits, public programs, a magazine, and a public research library.
