James J. Hill picked a commanding view of downtown St. Paul when he built the massive residence that bears his name. This 36 room mansion features striking architectural details and tasteful decorative elements; it also reflects the latest technology of 1891. Above all, the house was a family home for fames and Mary Hill and their nine children, as well as their twelve live-in servants. This fully illustrated guide to the house reveals both upstairs and downstairs life in the Victorian era along Summit Avenue.

This fully illustrated souvenir booklet takes you on a visual tour of the History Center and acquaints you with the Society, an institution older than the state itself.

The Grand Mound now rests silently in a dense grove of trees and ferns where Woodland people began to mound earth over their dead 2,500 years ago. Ancestors of Native Americans gathered annually at this special place on the Rainy River near present-day International Falls to fish for the giant sturgeon, an important food source. Using new information from archaeological digs, archaeologist Budak provides dramatic glimpses into this ancient history of Minnesota.
