Yesterday I visited the MN History Museum. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. There were 6 major exhibits in all. One included a simulated grain elevator complete with many levels and tunnels. The purpose for the expedition was to explore the "Greatest Generation" exhibit featuring war experiences of the pre-baby boom generation. The exhibit did a great job of summing up life in war times.
I learned something valuable. Butter turns white after 7 years. In the MN150 exhibit the butter head of the Princess Kay of the Milky Way from the year (2003) I was a dairy princess and competed for the title was on display. It didn't look so good, I'm glad it's in the museum because I wouldn't want to eat it any more.
I will definitely have to go back soon. We road a bus sponsored by the public library. It was a great trip, but much too short. We breezed through most of the exhibits, only 3 minutes to see 100 years of history in a house, and didn't even get to look around in the gift shop.
I don't think much about history or take advantage of the information that is available to me. I need to get out more, visit more museums, and take advantage of all there is to see, do and experience.

And we will try to schedule moreand longer trips! BTW, road=rode
I wish I knew more about history as well. I need to be better about taking advantage of the opportunities available to me. Also libraries in the Twin Cities have museum passes that you can check out from the library for 2 free admissions to different places. I've used it a couple times. Maybe when you have some free time in the cities, we can do that. :) http://www.melsa.org/MuseumAdventurePass/index.cfm
