Minnetrista is a museum center for cultural exploration. We offer exhibits and programs for children, families, adults, scouts, teachers and students that focus on nature, history, gardens and art. Minnetrista’s forty acre campus includes beautiful gardens, a modern museum facility, an historic home, nature area, numerous sculptures and a portion of the White river Greenway. Included in the forty acre campus is approximately eleven acres of turf that hosts large concerts to intimate weddings.

Minnetrista operates an Orchard shop that has been in business since the 1940’s. From September to January, the Orchard Shop supplies apples and fresh cider for purchase through the shop. The grounds crew handles the apple and cider operation.
