About The Northstar Chapter

 

Located in the Greater Minneapolis/Saint Paul area, the Northstar Chapter celebrates the 19th Century with a variety of events involving and promoting historic locations.  Our parent organization, The Victorian Society in America is the only national non-profit organization committed to historic preservation, protection, understanding, education, and enjoyment of our nineteenth century heritage. For more information, please visit the national site at www.victoriansociety.org

 

This area abounds with restored sites such as the newest property of the Minnesota Historical Society – The Mill City Museum. It is the site of the former “GOLD MEDAL” flour mill along the banks of the Mississippi River in Minneapolis.  The “flour tower” elevator tour is an innovative concept not to be missed. Its central location and conference room are very convenient for meetings in a setting of generous hospitality.

 

One of our signature events is the annual Twelfth Night Gala Ball, which will be held next on January 3rd, 2009.  It attracts many guest revelers to the organization for a post-holiday evening of dining and dancing.

 

We accept invitations to “Promenade” at leisure in vintage attire for community and historic celebrations. Northstar members also hold memberships in a variety of historically-based organizations with which we are able to partner.

 

The Northstar Chapter has successfully nominated two Upper Midwest sites for VSA Preservation Awards.

 

We also publish a newsletter to announce and report the activities and opportunities of the Northstar Chapter of The Victorian Society in America.
