The Minnesota Lakes Maritime Museum celebrates our lake traditions and legacies, and is committed to their preservation for future generations. A visit to the MLMM is enjoyable for everyone in your family, as they discover classic boats, the grand hotel and resort history, and much more.

The MLMM expanded it facilities last fall with the addition of the new, 5,000 square foot, North Hall. The new space is home to The History of Chris-Craft Exhibit. The extensive display is a collaborative effort between exhibit sponsor, Alexandria Clinic, P.A., the Minnesota Lakes Maritime Museum, and the Chris-Craft Antique Boat Club, who provided much of the historic research, documentation, and archive images.

The History of Larson Boat Works exhibit, in the M.M. “Bud” Peterson Gallery, is also new this year. This exhibit is made possible by the generous support of the Virginia & Earl Geiger Family.

The Minnesota Lakes Maritime Museum is located on 3rd Street West, across from the firehall, in downtown Alexandria. Group Tours are available. Our season is May 15 – October 15, 2010
