Duluth Superior, MN, October 15, 2026 —
The Minnesota Humanities Center has launched Minnesota 100, an initiative focused on identifying and discussing the people, places, traditions, ideas and objects that help define Minnesota.
The project invites community members to nominate elements they believe have shaped the state’s identity and culture. Its scope includes subjects across different categories, from individuals and locations to traditions and objects. The initiative is intended to prompt discussion about what Minnesotans consider significant to the state’s culture and history.
The project includes references to local examples from the Duluth-Superior region as well as examples from elsewhere in Minnesota. The specific examples were not provided in the available information, and no list of nominees or selections was identified.
Details about how nominations are submitted, whether there is a deadline, and how the center will use or present nominations were not provided. The available information also does not specify whether the initiative will result in a final list of 100 selections or describe how any selections would be made.
Minnesota 100 is framed as a participatory effort to consider the people and cultural elements associated with the state. Further particulars about its schedule and process were not included in the announcement details provided.
