The Minnehaha was awarded a grant to help rehabilitate the structural integrity of her wooden hull including the replacement of several planks and ribs that have deteriorated since the boat’s 1990-1996 restoration. The Lake Minnetonka Historical Society is committed to returning Minnehaha to active operation as a floating museum!

This project is to ensure Minnehaha is shipshape and ready to serve the Lake Minnetonka community when a launch site has been secured.
Below are links to access information related to the MINNEHAHA Hull Rehabilitation Project. Each document serves to document the hull’s current condition as well as the rehabilitation work needed.
This project was made possible in part by the people of Minnesota through a grant funded
by an appropriation to the Minnesota Historical Society from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
