Minnesota Museums

This little town takes a lot of pride in history, well done

I most likely will rate this higher if I get to go inside. We stopped on a Thursday at 4:45. I was a warm day & the staff person said she was closing up & to come back. T ... more

left fork gets the uphill done faster, right fork leads to the stone house quite a bit faster, maybe a hourish hike

Great food, eyecandy and totally nice people and lots of classdics and hot rods. Great bands.

Great place to scatter old Buffalo nickels and watch people go crazy when they find one.

Cute Little house in the nature area. we have come here a few times for photos. The history boards are great to read up on the place. plenty of parking nearby.

Buy tickets in advance. Tours were already sold out due to limited number of people allowed at each visit.

We were in town for my mom's stay at Mayo and have memberships at the Saint Paul location. I was very disappointed that the museum is closed until summer! I wish your web ... more

Very well done historic site.

Went on the sleigh ride through the forest. Wonderful, informative kind guides! Gorgeous horses!

Unfortunately not open. What a shame! Almost never open. Be sure to find out beforehand.

Fantastic place to marvel at very cool pieces of art of various types. Rex showed us around and was happy to share bits and pieces about all the art. I ended up leaving ... more

It was closed when I went, but the outdoor exhibits were interesting.

Very interesting museum about the start of the mill factory in Minneapolis. Activities for adults and kids.

Consistently mediocre art accompanied by long, mystical, narcissistic commentary by the artists, all in a shabby building. A complete waste of time.

This is a hidden gem. I didn't even know this was here. The museum is based on donations, and has a number of photos of Virginia, MN and the Iron Range. Definitely worth ... more

Great museum. Much attention to detail. Such a tragedy for this area.

Very nice

Hidden gem! I was worried my boys might be bored (8 and 10), but they loved it.

Visited while it was closed and my kids loved it. I was amazed by the old coal fired locomotive. This place is a gem.

This was so much fun! Really brings our inner child

Very nice. I couldn't imagine that this little town now was so strategic and bigger in the past. The museum is full of very interesting pictures, story and object!!

Pros: very clean and organized, frequent activities organized by the staff, several different play areas. Cons: it's a somewhat small area that can get crowded quickly, a ... more

Awesome place, friendly staff, knowledgeable , super clean place. I just wish I had more time to check out the entire place, I also loved that they do live petting of a s ... more

The staff here are amazing!

Found a few treasures at the vintage store. Loved it lots

UPDATE! We were able to visit later in the afternoon. What a neat little museum!

Cool place! Learned a lot.

Very fun! Went with my school and it was SO cool getting to see all the different trains from different decades and even being able to go through an old train.
