Samplers
Join MAM for monthly Samplers - behind-the-scenes visits to area museums and cultural organizations. Samplers are a great way to meet other museum professionals, discuss common issues and see the really amazing organizations in Minnesota. A formal program is balanced with time to socialize- usually with treats! To receive regular Sampler notifications, be sure to sign up for the MAM enewsletter.Would you like to host a Sampler?

Tour the one of kind cemetery known as both the Pioneer and Soldier’s Cemetery and Layman’s Cemetery. Historian Sue hunter-Weir will share the unique story of this uncommon instance of a cemetery being listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This inner city cemetery has enjoyed a long history and an ever changing landscape at the intersection of Lake Street and Cedar Avenue in Minneapolis. Learn of the unusual stories held within; everything from Harry Hayward-convicted in Minneapolis’ first sensational murder trial, to the unmarked paupers graves. This is the cemetery tour that you never knew you wanted to take-you don’t want to miss it!
After the tour we will adjourn to nearby Global Market for refreshments and a discussion on what it takes to successfully advocate for a historic cemetery.
