Hello everyone; I am inserting a current news item regarding the progression of items that should soon allow the start of construction of the Minnesota Militaary Museum.

In allocating $13 million for a new Military Museum, state legislators ensured construction of a facility befitting the service and sacrifice of Minnesota Veterans. Still, the quality and character of the education classrooms, exhibit galleries and public programming ultimately rests with everyday Minnesotans who step up and financially support this remarkable 32-acre site and 40,000 square foot Museum & Library dedicated to veterans.

Respectfully

John Thomas, President

New Site & Facility

Projected Completion Date: Fall 2024

In allocating $13 million for a new Military Museum, state legislators ensured construction of a facility befitting the service and sacrifice of Minnesota Veterans.

Another $8 million is needed to fully outfit this facility with the tools and technology to save and share these stories with a statewide audience for generations to come. To this end, the KAHR Foundation has already committed $3 million. Now, leading companies, foundations and families are asked to match this commitment.

Ultimately, the quality and character of the education classrooms, exhibit galleries and public programming rests with everyday Minnesotans who see the value of investing in a future that is as bright as our past. Online Donation

Throughout the design and construction phase, the Museum will host online gatherings, via Zoom, to discuss interpretation, inclusion and overall themes. Email Sign-up to receive invites

If you’d like to assist in other ways including volunteer opportunities, please email us. We are seeking to significantly bolster our collection of artifacts related to the Global War on Terrorism. A list of other items we are seeking (and those we are not) is available here.

If you have questions or comments, please contact Randal Dietrich, Executive Director

Concept: new museum rendering on 32-acres at Camp Ripley
