HF 1562 appropriates $500,000 from the state general fund for fiscal year 2026 to fund physical improvements at the Gibbs Farm Museum: Pathways to Dakota and Pioneer Life in Ramsey County. The funds will be granted to the Ramsey County Historical Society to design, renovate, construct, furnish, and equip the museum's site, buildings, and facilities.
