WHS Interviewed by LMCC

The Lake Minnetonka Communications Commision (LMCC), located in Spring Park, creates a variety of high quality Public, Educational and Government programming for our area.

WHS president Jeff Magnuson was interviewed by LMCC volunteer producer Jennifer Ray, regarding the Westonka Historical Society and History Museum, in late March 2018. The interview is on YouTube and can be viewed by clicking here.

New Display at the Museum

Lake Minnetonka Native American Mound Sites

The WHS museum now has an interactive Lake Minnetonka Native American Mound Sites display. More than 50 documented mound sites are shown. Information for each site is displayed when clicking on its map pin.

It would seem that these mounds were most often built in high, dry spots that often offered beautiful views of lakes and rivers.

Around Lake Minnetonka, 524 mounds were mapped at 48 sites in the 1880s.  Today, about 40 mounds remain at 12 sites.
