About the Legacy Amendment & the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund

On November 4, 2008, Minnesota voters approved the Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment to preserve and enhance some of the most important elements of our state. This amendment to the Minnesota Constitution, often referred to as the “Legacy Amendment,” created four funds, one of which is the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund (ACHF).
The Legacy Amendment mandates that a portion of the ACHF be used “to preserve Minnesota’s history and cultural heritage” (Minnesota Constitution, Article XI, Sec. 15). Each January, the Minnesota Historical Society is required to submit an annual report to the governor and Legislature detailing expenditures it has made from the ACHF.

More about the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment and the mandates it affords the citizens of Minnesota can be found here:   https://www.mnhs.org/legacy/amendment
