YouTube Channel

Hennepin History Museum’s YouTube Channel features videos of a variety of program events held at the museum in the past few years.

Included in the videos are:

  • Book readings and author talks
  • Local history presentations
  • Panel discussions on historical topics
  • Community conversations about historical topics

Integral to the mission of Hennepin History Museum is to create spaces where our communities’ stories can be told. Offering our programming via these videos creates another “space” for local history at the time and place that works best for you. We are committed to filming all our in-person programs at the museum since, at this time, our building is not fully accessible.

These are examples of some of the program videos available on our YouTube Channel.
