The historical society of Hennepin County, Minnesota

The Hennepin History Museum is one of the Twin Cities' most unique social history museums, offering superb exhibits, an historic mansion setting, and archival collections of priceless scholarly value.  HHM has evolved from the Hennepin County Territorial Pioneers Association in 1858 to the County Historical Society in 1938 to an award-winning history museum embracing a diverse range of cultures and social histories. Their exhibition and education programs have grown from a focus on original Hennepin County settlers to documenting the wide range of people who make up the county today. As one of Minnesota's most rapidly growing and diverse counties, Hennepin includes urban, suburban, and rural communities. You can find all of these stories in the exhibits, library, and outreach programs at the Hennepin History Museum.

Gideon Pond House

Gideon Pond, along with his brother Samuel and his wife Agnes, was a missionary to the Dakota Indians before John H. Stevens and his family arrived on the West Bank. Their original mission was located at Cloudman's Village near Lake Calhoun. In 1866, they built a Federal style house near the Minnesota River, where it still stands today.
