Explore Minnesota's Top Historic Attractions For Free On January 10

If you're looking for something to do this weekend, here's a chance to check out some of the state's most popular historic attractions for free!

Every year, the Minnesota Historical Society gives the public a couple of chances to visit popular destinations that normally charge an admission fee to go for free. One of those opportunities is this weekend!

Throughout the year, the Minnesota Historical Society waives admission four different times. One of those dates is Saturday, January 10 (this Saturday)!

I'm talking about destinations like the Split Rock Lighthouse north of Two Harbors on the North Shore, the Forest History Center in Grand Rapids, and Fort Snelling in St. Paul. Fun places to visit, for sure!

This is a chance to grab the family, explore, learn, and have fun on a winter Saturday.

The Minnesota Historical Society highlights free admission to the following locations around the state on January 10 during the hours noted below:

Split Rock Lighthouse: Two Harbors, MN - 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Forest History Center: Grand Rapids, MN - 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Mille Lacs Indian Museum: Onamia, MN - 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Mill City Museum: Minneapolis, MN - 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Minnesota History Center: Saint Paul, MN - 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Historic Fort Snelling: Saint Paul, MN - 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Oliver Kelley Farm: Elk River, MN - 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
James J. Hill House: Saint Paul, MN - 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

If you won't be able to make it to one of these attractions on Saturday, the Minnesota Historical Society holds a free admission day once each season throughout the year.

The next one will be coming up this spring (historically held in April), another in the summertime, and a fall free day to conclude the list of free dates.
