ecards

Going Places: The Mystique of Mobility, an exhibit at the Minnesota History Center, traces how the American passion for mobility has shaped life in Minnesota for nearly 200 years. Where have we gone? Where are we going? The exhibit provides a place to travel back through time to celebrate the promise of the new, to reflect on the consequences of the past, and to debate and dream ways of moving transportation forward into the 21st century.

These ecards are just a few of the images featured in the exhibit.
