A living collection of the spaces and places that shape us

The built spaces of Minnesota – present and past – hold meaning. These places have shaped us and we have shaped them. North Star Story Map illuminates the ways that buildings of all kinds spark memories and feelings. Share your stories of the built spaces in Minnesota that hold special meaning for you. Invite others to share their stories, too. Together, we can create a people’s history of Minnesota, as told through its buildings. If the walls and windows and wood planks of Minnesota could talk, what would they say?
