About Minnesota Humanities Event Center
The Minnesota Humanities Event Center is a full-service meeting and retreat center in a restored historic building in St. Paul. The building was built in 1924 as part of the original Gillette Children's Hospital campus, and its former schoolhouse was restored for humanities education. It sits near the southern edge of Phalen Regional Park, with bike and walking paths, beaches and a golf course within walking distance, and downtown St. Paul is minutes away. The center has four named spaces: the Commons, the Library, the Board Room and the Ivy Room. It also has 15 overnight guest rooms. Meeting packages include on-site catering, and shorter meetings, receptions and special events may be arranged, with pricing quoted event by event.
