About Minnesota Experience

For decades, Twin Cities PBS (TPT) has dived into the whitewater of bygone eras and emerged with insight about our shared past and values as Minnesotans. Tapping into TPT’s rich archive of historical stories and adding new ones to the fold, Minnesota Experience holds the mirror of history up to the modern moment as a force that can forever change who we are and who we want to be.

Made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund and the Friends of Minnesota Experience, a group of philanthropists who believe that celebrating our history together creates bonds in our divisive world.
