Old weathered door detail

Close-up of an old weathered door panel from a building built in the 19th century. At The Landing in Shakopee Minnesota, many old 19th century buildings from around Minnesota were carefully hauled and placed on the grounds along the Minnesota River. Visitors can discover how 19th-century Minnesotans established their lives on the frontier, farmstead and in villages. Historical buildings are laid out as a timeline from the pre-territorial era through the late 1800s. You can explore the grounds by yourself using interpretive media, tour highlighted buildings with a costumed guide, or watch as costumed interpreters bring the past alive at living history events.
