MINNESOTA

This unusual pavilion is a colorful, many-sided structure encircled by a waterway. Visitors may fish or take canoe rides. There is a restaurant on the ground floor. The main exhibit area – which focuses attention on the state’s industries – is on a second level, reached by ramps.

From the front the Minnesota Pavilion had a rather tranquil look, with a gently sloping wooden ramp rising through a small grove of trees. (CD29 Set 151 #15)
A side view shows a more gaudy view of the pavilion. The large Viking warrior is Big Ole, representing the claim by some that Vikings had visited North America well before Christopher Columbus. The 28-foot tall statue can now be seen in Alexandria, Minnesota. (CD15 Set 78 #5)
