Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions about this rental space.
How do I reserve an event space?
The easiest ways to book an event space are to visit the museum in person or call the museum’s main line: 218-847-2938. A minimum $50 deposit is required at the time of booking along with the completion of our Room Rental Agreement.
Can I bring in food and beverages?
Yes! You may certainly bring in food and non-alcoholic beverages without prior approval.* Keep in mind that we only have refrigerator space available, as the museum does not have a freezer. Your food and beverages must stay in the event space you booked.
Am I allowed to decorate?
Decorations in event spaces are allowed to be attached only to tables, chairs, and the dedicated hanging rails mounted to the walls using tape provided by the museum. This is to ensure that walls are not damaged by unapproved adhesive tapes or hooks. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with this!
All decorations and hanging materials must be removed immediately following your event.
Can I arrive early to set up?
The ability to arrive early is dependent on our event schedule for the specific date you have booked. Discuss your wishes for an early arrival at the time of your booking, or call the museum at 218-847-2938 to make a plan.
What are my post-event responsibilities?
Tear down takes place immediately after your event unless other arrangements have been made.
After your event, please ensure that all trash is gathered and placed in the provided trash receptacles. If the kitchen space is used, all dishes must be washed and counters wiped down. Additionally, we ask that you wipe down tables and chairs to help us prepare for the next event.
All items must be removed from the facility immediately following your event unless other arrangements have been made.
