Abstract

There are towns and historical places all over the country that currently do not have a space that allows for historical learning. Without these places of learning the history and knowledge tends to die off disappearing as time goes on. A place of historical learning would be able to help with this problem. It would give a chance to tell stories that happened in the past. People need to be able to come learn about the history and culture of that place. Visitors need to be drawn to places of historical presence because often times the place is not well advertised or is hard to get to. The project will focus on a historical and cultural center located on one of Minnesota’s State parks in order to increase the amount of visitors to the park. State parks are known for their natural beauty but what most people don’t learn about is the history and what makes that particular site a state park. This building will promote the history of the site creating a positive learning experience while severing as a place for visitors to enjoy at all times of the year.
