Surviving Minnesota 10,000 to 1,000 Years Ago

About This Event

Learn how the prehistoric peoples of the Upper Midwest adapted and survived through the millennia.

As environmental and social conditions would change, so did their tools of survival. We don’t always know the why exactly new technology would emerge, but the patterns of change are intriguing. 

You might think one of the most important tools to arise in the ice age would be big hunting weapons for hunting big game, but an even more important tool were bone needles for sewing high tech clothing. 

Visitors will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the artifacts that typify these important cultural transformations.
