Minnesota Territory 1849-1858

The Organic Act created the Minnesota Territory in 1849. Government had to be created and the Supreme Court and Territorial Library were part of that new government. This guide is a companion to the banner exhibit celebrating the 175th Anniversary of the creation of the Minnesota Territory, the Territorial Supreme Court and the Territorial Library. It includes links to additional information about the Justices and Librarians and the sources used to build the exhibit.
