Mastodon specimens are fairly rare in Minnesota. Two of the state’s specimens, a molar found near Alexandria and a partial pelvis found near Kensington, are currently housed at the Runestone Museum in Alexandria. The museum also holds the controversial Kensington Runestone, an artifact proposed to provide evidence of pre-Columbian trans-Atlantic contact in MN.

Even longer ago:
"On Tuesday, July 8, 1986, a quiet neighborhood in Mounds View, Minnesota, was roused from its slumber when a wall of fire roared down that street. A mother and her six-year old daughter, shocked by the noise and obviously frightened, opened their door, stepped outside; and were incinerated."
This is the plaque we installed in 2015 on the corner of 7th Ave N & 3rd St. N in Minneapolis, the site of the “Bloody Friday” shootings on July 20th, 1934. Among our planned commemorative events is a ceremony where we’ll lay a wreath here in memory of workers shot that day. That will take place on July 20th, 2024 at 4 PM.
