Since 1972 we’ve served our community by collecting and preserving its history and sharing it with the world. During those fifty years our volunteers have opened an archives and museum, written dozens of books, conducted hundreds of public presentations and helped thousands of people learn more about Lake Minnetonka’s rich past.  

In more recent years we’ve added to that strong foundation by offering initiatives that our founders would never have dreamed possible in 1972 - 

- Passionate volunteers have added more than 7,500 digital images from our collection to MNCollections.org where they can be viewed, free, by anyone, anywhere, anytime. 

- We've created online recordings of our history presentations including Tapping History at the Excelsior Brewing Company and a virtual tour of Oak Hill Cemetery 

- We've developed new History Cruises on Lake Minnetonka, a new walking tour of Excelsior’s downtown business district, and led hundreds of school children and other groups on tours of our museum with reimagined exhibits to enlighten young and old.  

It took fifty years of hard work by dedicated volunteers to make this possible, but the new technology, supplies and equipment needed today were made possible by members and donors like you. 

If you value what we do, please make a contribution to our 2022 50th Anniversary Annual Campaign today.  And this year, why not consider a multiple of $50 in honor of our ripe, old age? We look forward to putting your contribution to good use - no matter what size - now and for future generations.
