HELP SAVE A HISTORIC TREASURE
THE STEAMBOAT MINNEHAHA

Built in 1906. Scuttled in 1926. Raised in 1980. Restored and returned to service in 1996. The streetcar steamboat Minnehaha is a story of dreams and ambition. Now, sadly, Minnehaha no longer has access to a launch site on Lake Minnetonka. To return to active service, she needs a new launch site.

Minnehaha served the greater Lake Minnetonka community from 1906–1926 and again from 1996–2019. Deemed Lake Minnetonka’s most important historical artifact, she now needs our help.
