This bill appropriates $3 million from the state's general fund to the Minnesota Historical Society for grants to the Olmsted County Historical Society in fiscal year 2026. Specifically, $850,000 is designated for rehabilitating the historic George Stoppel stone house and barn, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and constructing an accessible pathway to the farmstead. The remaining $2,150,000 is allocated for designing and constructing renovations to the History Center of Olmsted County in Rochester. The bill requires that all restoration work adhere to the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's standards for treating historic properties. The funding is a one-time appropriation and will remain available until the projects are completed or abandoned, in accordance with state financial regulations. This appropriation aims to preserve a significant historic site and improve a local historical center, supporting the preservation and public understanding of local history.
