Minnesota: Yesterday and Today

Here is another adult "picture" book that is a good resource for classes studying Minnesota history or working on History Day projects. Featuring photographs by Layne Kennedy with supporting text by Greg Breining, each double page spread features a historical landmark (St. Paul Cathedral, Pipestone Quarry, Gooseberry Falls etc.), towns (Hibbing, Stillwater, Hastings, etc.) or other unique parts of Minnesota culture (Paul Bunyan, hockey, ice palaces, state fair, etc.) It's fun to browse and provides a good basic introduction to many Minnesota features.
