THURSDAY, Oct. 12, 2023
2:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
Please join IES MSP for a tour of the recently renovated Fort Snelling Visitors Center and Plank Museum. Rich Rummel, Jessie Cogswell and Gopher Stage Lighting will be there to talk about their hand in the lighting and controls. After the tour join us at the Tipsy Steer at 5000 Hiawatha Ave for some social time. Appetizers will be provided.
Originally built in 1904 as US Army Cavalry barracks, and later converted to an outpatient VA Clinic in 1946, the building was abandoned in 1989 and sat vacant for several decades, with no power, water, or HVAC.
In June 2020, work began to rehabilitate the building into the new Plank Museum & Visitor Center as part of the Historic Fort Snelling Revitalization Project. This included interior demolition and hazardous material abatement, and the rehabilitation of historic wood floors and windows. New walls went up, new stair structures were built, and existing plaster walls and ceilings were repaired.
