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!
