MUSEUM ON MAIN STREET: JOURNEY STORIES
Beginning in May 2010, Minnesota will host a new exhibit titled Journey Stories. Part of the Smithsonian Institution's Museum on Main Street exhibits, Journey Stories focuses on tales of how we and our ancestors came to America. From Native Americans to new American citizens and regardless of our ethnic or racial background, everyone has a story to tell. Journey Stories exhibit is filled with stories of people leaving behind everything – families and possessions – to reach a new life in another state, across the continent, or even across an ocean.
Beginning in May of 2010, the Minnesota Humanities Center will partner with six communities in Greater Minnesota to host
Journey Stories.
