Downtown St. Paul Minnesota Historical Society

History Forum

Since 2004 the History Center has brought the country's leading historians to St. Paul for accessible, deeply researched talks. The 2026 season leans into the founding era with scholars like Jeffrey Rosen on Hamilton versus Jefferson and Lindsay Chervinsky on the early republic. Most sessions are Saturday at 11am, and you can attend in person or stream it from home.

Saves land in your shortlist; been-heres fill your Passport. Both shape the Best of MPLS. Anonymous, never sold.
