DescHistoric Sites: The Historic Sites division administers 26 historic sites throughout the state for public benefit through educational programs, special events and community activities; preserves over 140 historic structures; operates the Capitol tour program; and administers the State Historic Sites Act. Overall attendance in fiscal year 2015 totaled nearly 750,000 visitors, an increase of about 15% over 2014 attendance. Two of the strategic priorities for MNHS and this division continue to be the revitalization of Historic Fort Snelling and the Oliver H Kelley Farm. Construction began in FY 2015 at the Oliver Kelley Farm site as well as the pre-design process for construction at Fort Snelling. In addition to work at these two important sites, the priority includes the major preservation and interpretive needs of the network as a whole. Revitalization work continues to include audience evaluation and targeted program development meant to make sites more inclusive and relevant to their communities as well as more financially sustainable.Desc

DescHistory Center Museum and Education: Maintains the collections used for exhibit purposes in the MNHS's museums and at county historical societies; plans, fabricates, and installs exhibits at MNHS interpretive facilities and museums throughout the state; and orients visitors and tells them stories of important events and persons of Minnesota's past. It also includes auxiliary activities and services at the History Center, such as the museum shops, parking, cafe and building rental. The History Center saw an 11% increase in attendance and a dramatic shift in demographics as cultural diversity took center stage in many of our programs and exhibits. Three new major exhibits highlighted this dynamic. The three new exhibits were; Modern Spirit: The Art of George Morrison, We Are Hmong, and An Inspiring Beauty: 50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair. In addition, the attendance record breaking exhibit Toys of the 50's, 60's and 70's ended its run exceeding attendance goals and drawing mutligenerational families. Gallery, School and Public programming all continued to thrive in 2015 with new initiatives and reinvented programs that touched visitors, school kids and the public at large.Desc

Program accomplishments are often measured by public usage. In 2015 the Gale Family Library at the History Center welcomed 29,000 in-person and correspondence research requests, a 9% increase from last year. The Gale Library handled 18,000 researchers, students and tours, 6,000 e-commerce requests, 4,300 phone requests and 27,000 items pulled for viewing or photcopying, as well as over 71,000 microfilm views. Our online resources drew significant visitation, including such resources as the "Collections Up Close" blog which had nearly 100,000 views. New in 2015 was the Legacy Research Fellowship which made four awards throughout the year.

ExplanationThe MNHS receives a majority of its funding from the State of Minnesota. As a result there are activities that are performed that may be construed as lobbying activities. The MNHS maintains a presence on the world wide web. Included on our website is a webpage dedicated to legislative updates, the status of our State appropriations and at times a call for members and the public to contact their local legislators in support of MNHS' appropriations a/o pending legislation. Our website includes a program that allows the public to search and directly contact their representatives. In addition, the MNHS employs a Director of Public Policy and Community Relations whose primary function is to act in an administrative capacity in providing budgetary information to the State of Minnesota and to act as a legislative liaison as needed. At times this position may have direct contact with members of the legislative body or the public in a manner such that the activity could be construed as lobbying. Contract personnel may at times provide this same service. The MNHS has employed a lobbying firm to represent the MNHS at the Minnesota State Legislature for specific legislation. Lobbying activities represent an insignificant amount of the MNHS' annual operating expenditures.ExplanationTxt

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Schedule D, Part II, Line 9The reporting of conservation easements by the Minnesota Historical Society (MNHS) relates to actions MNHS undertakes with respect to properties that MNHS monitors as the agent of the State of Minnesota's Historic Preservation Office. The MNHS undertakes such efforts with the following two categories of properties: 1) those transferred by the MNHS or another State of Minnesota agency to a third party (not itself, the state or a state agency) subject to a restriction enforceable by the State of Minnesota's Historic Preservation Office that the property will retain and have ensured its long-term historic preservation as a National Register Property; and 2) those owned by an entity who has received federal grant funding in favor of improvements on the property subject to the requirement that a conservation easement be granted to the State of Minnesota Historic Preservation Office (for a specified time period) as a condition of such federal grant funding. These easements are not recorded in the revenue and expense statement or on the balance sheet or in the audited financial statement's footnotes due to the fact that MNHS does not have a financial interest in these properties. In both of the above categories, MNHS undertakes and conducts a monitoring role to ensure the continued preservation of the property's historical significance and character.
Schedule D, Part III, Line 1The MNHS' collection of artifacts, documents, newspapers, pictures, paintings, tapes and books is not capitalized because donated values are not readily determinable. Items purchased for the collection are expensed as acquired.
Schedule D, Part III, Line 4The MNHS' collection of artifacts, historic sites, documents, newspapers, pictures, paintings, tapes, and books preserve the evidence of Minnesota's past. The collection supports the work of the MNHS' programs and provide value to people interested in their history.
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4The MNHS' endowment consists of 141 individual funds established for a variety of purposes including both donor-restricted endowment funds and funds designated by the Board of Trustees to function as endowments. Net assets associated with endowment funds, including funds designated by the Board of Trustees to function as endowments, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2The MNHS has received a determination letter indicating that it is exempt from federal and state income tax as an organization described in Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and corresponding State of Minnesota Statutes. The MNHS monitors its activities and it considers the potential for income taxes if any activities are not related to its exempt purpose. The MNHS engages in activities that are considered as unrelated to its exempt purpose. These activities are subject to federal and state income taxes. However, the MNHS has a net operating loss carry-forward available to offset future taxable income from these unrelated activities. Accordingly, no federal or state tax provision is required in the current year. The net operating loss carry-forward of $201,384 begins to expire in 2022. The MNHS follows the financial accounting standards relating to uncertainty in income taxes. The MNHS had no uncertain tax positions.
