• Minneopa State Park - Mankato MN
    Established by the Minnesota legislature in 1905 to allow public access to Minneopa Falls, the Minneopa State Park was enlarged and improved during the New Deal period by Works Progress Administration funding. WPA workers improved the falls with new stairs, built public hiking trails, and constructed seven new buildings, including a public shelter, new maintenance buildings, restrooms, and other structures. Constructed from local sandstone and lumber, the seven rustic-styled WPA buildings constructed on the site were added to the National Historic Register in 1989.
