Join us for an evening at the Minnesota History Center!

The NCSS conference is now virtual. Since we can't share our beautiful place with colleagues from around the country, MCSS wanted to give our local teachers an opportunity to gather in person.

At this evening event, visit exhibit galleries, take private collections tours, snack on hors d'oeuvres, visit the cash bar, and reconnect with your social studies family. 

Parking is included in the price. Masks are required.

Sponsored by the University of Minnesota College of Liberal Arts, Education Minnesota, and the Minnesota Historical Society.
