TRACES Museum Center for History and Culture http://www.TRACES.org 75 West Fifth Street, Suite 211, St. Paul, MN 55102 651-292-8700 Hours: TRACES CLOSED PERMANENTLY ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2008.

TRACES brings history to life. This museum gathers, preserves and presents stories of people from the Midwest and Germany or Austria who encountered each other during World War II. Many of these stories have lain beneath the dust left in the wake of a World War most never thought touched the American heartland. TRACES brushes away that dust, unearthing an amazing legacy.

My wife and some friends of ours visited Traces and the Landmark Center. Very interested exhibits at Traces and in the whole building. We didn't even know all of that was there!

So much information in such a little space. Wonderful. The Landmark Center itself is worth the trip...there are three other (free) museums in there and they are all excellent!
