The Rustic Pig

There's much to see and do with the museum, trolley, mini golf, the homestead and the rest of the grounds. The trolley ride was fun and informative with an additional little tour exhibiting the life of a miner and his family. It was very interesting to learn about the history of the area. The scenery is beautiful. Mini golf was a nice end to the day. This is a great family attraction.

I have been going here since I moved here permanently in 1998 and I have many fond memories here my grandpa worked in the genealogy department which is still fantastic I got happily caught up there in that department for an hour while we went to the fossil exhibit, every exhibit or event they have is always so enjoyable and hands on for everyone all ages ! Everyone is so friendly 😊 not to mention all the beauty surrounding the museum even in the winter the overlooks are breathtaking , it's huge and spacious and comfortable to wander around for hours ! So affordable we've gone here on a day we're bored and always find entertainment!

CCC Museum was awesome with very informative displays. Geology displays would have been better if they had better lighting and displays that worked. The movie in the theater was fantastic. It really gave you a great idea as to how vital this area was in the making of this country. The history and ethnology of the area was fabulous.

An excellent museum full of Minnesota history. The campus is beautiful with rustic replicas of the homes that the early settlers lived in, beautiful landscaping, and a Civilian Conservation Corps exhibit. The main museum building has an abundance of history about the labor movement and early mining. The Redhead mountain biking trailhead is also nearby. Off the beaten path and well worth a visit.

What a delightful concept - mixed open area and closed hall exhibits. The best representation of the State history is in this Center. Clean, carefully assembled narrative highlighting the history of the State from its humble beginnings. It is industry-centric, but what a delightful expose providing the background to honestly compare ourselves to our predecessors.
