Quick Summary
The Minnesota Digital Library has created a two-part timeline on Minnesota history featuring materials from our digital collections. These timelines explore significant moments in the history and development of the state. We encourage you to learn how local history connects with major world events in these timelines.
Timelines can help people understand how historical events relate to each other. They provide a visual framework that organizes facts about people, places, and events in an easy-to-read linear format. Learning history through timelines also makes it easier to see change happen over time.
