Our Minnesota Legacy Programs

Original local arts, history and cultural programs are made possible with the support of the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.  To view any of Prairie Public’s Minnesota Legacy Productions On Demand, click on the titles below.

These programs are funded in part by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008. This amendment to the Minnesota Constitution, Article XI, Section 15 is commonly referred to as the Legacy Amendment. As a result of this vote, Prairie Public and other Minnesota public television stations are entrusted to support the overall goals of the Legacy Amendment and to help preserve Minnesota arts, history and cultural heritage, while making the content readily available to viewers like you.

We are  excited to be able to provide you with quality legacy programming through local series and documentaries, while also featuring this legacy content online. If you have any questions about these or other local productions at Prairie Public, send us an email or write us at the address below.

About the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund

In 2008, Minnesota voters passed a landmark piece of legislation — the Minnesota Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment — which provided funding to public television stations serving audiences in Minnesota. Its mission is to help preserve and document the treasures of culture, history, and heritage that make Minnesota special, and to increase access to the natural and cultural resources we all share.
