Going Places: The Mystique of Mobility
An Exhibit at the Minnesota History Center

Going Places: The Mystique of Mobility

Going. Going faster, going farther. Going somewhere, going anywhere. Going simply for the sake of going. Going Places: The Mystique of Mobility, a new 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.

Going Places, part of the Minnesota Transportation History Network, is funded in part by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) through the U.S. Department of Transportation.
