Our #HFS2020 revitalization project before #mnleg will turn historic cavalry barracks in a new visitor center. But the building, which has sat vacant since 1980s, needs significant improvements and updates to prepare it for visitors. mnhs.org/hfs2020

In our dilapidated visitor center, this tarp is rigged up to keep out water that's always trying to get into an archaeology lab. Not exactly ideal. Our #HFS2020 revitalization project aims to create a new visitor center and is currently before #mnleg. mnhs.org/hfs2020

Let #mnleg know how vital $30 million is to create a new visitor center for us! Our current VC does't meet our needs and has significant problems. These pics show an office destroyed by water infiltration. mnhs.org/hfs2020 #HFS2020
