The Museum of Lake Minnetonka is a member-based organization and offers a variety of membership levels. Membership may be obtained online or by mail. Thank you for your support!
- Membership helps keep Minnehaha maintained, cover insurance costs, and fund programs while we work to secure a launch site for the boat.
- Membership benefits include invitations to special events, a subscription to the Steamboatin’ News newsletter, and complementary cruise tickets for when the boat returns to the waters of Lake Minnetonka.
