Fine Arts Center
- In 2023 a donation was made to the Minnesota State Fair Foundation to replace the windows and doors of the historic Fine Arts Center.

Additional restoration projects on this 117-year-old building include exterior painting, new entryway concrete, gallery wall painting, landscaping and a new welcome desk.
