Our #HFS2020 revitalization project before #mnleg will turn historic cavalry barracks in a new visitor center. But the building, which has sat vacant since 1980s, needs significant improvements and updates to prepare it for visitors.

In our dilapidated visitor center, this tarp is rigged up to keep out water that's always trying to get into an archaeology lab. Not exactly ideal. Our #HFS2020 revitalization project aims to create a new visitor center and is currently before #mnleg.

Let #mnleg know how vital $30 million is to create a new visitor center for us! Our current VC does't meet our needs and has significant problems. These pics show an office destroyed by water infiltration. #HFS2020
