North Star Circle
History matters. Our stories matter. Join Us.
North Star Circle members are a distinguished group of supporters who serve as Minnesota history’s strongest advocates. Their generous contribution of at least $1,200 annually helps support our network of 26 historic sites and museums, collections, publications, and wide-ranging education programming.
In recognition of their leadership, North Star Circle members receive special benefits including invitations to exclusive North Star Circle events, behind-the-scenes opportunities, and free admission to all MNHS historic sites and museums.
For questions or additional information about the North Star Circle, email Kariann Jennrich or call 651-271-7782.
