Relive Minnesota History Where You Are

In our Lost Twin Cities series, you get a prime opportunity to wander Minneapolis’ and Saint Paul’s grand buildings of yore. In North Star: Minnesota’s Black Pioneers, you step into 12 distinct stories that chronicle the state’s African-American history. And in Out North: MNLGBTQ History, you’ll explore the strides the state has made since the gay liberation movement.

With a blend of broadcast shows, digital-exclusive stories, and screenings, TPT serves to tell the stories of all Minnesotans. And now with TPTOriginals.org, you can witness more history anytime, anywhere.

Witness History in Person at a Local Screening

Watch premieres before they broadcast at our studios in Lowertown Saint Paul, and join the conversation. Twin Cities PBS hosts dozens of public screenings and discussions each year. In addition to the many TPT productions that we showcase, you could also see featured shows from national and independent producers, including the annual Indie Lens Pop up Series from Independent Lens, a neighborhood series that brings people together for film screenings and community-driven conversations.
