MNHS Events

    The Minnesota Historical Society preserves Minnesota's past, shares state's stories and connects people with history in meaningful ways, for today and for tomorrow.  Because history matters!

HONOR FLIGHT

   Freedom Honor Flight is a La Crosse-based organization founded in April of 2008 and has expanded its service to serve Rochester, Minnesota area veterans.  Freedom Honor Flight previously shared part of its service area with a Rochester-based hub, which is no longer operating.  Their goal is simple: to fly our veterans to Washington D.C. to visit the memorials that stand in their honor.

   Freedom Honor Flight provides this trip free to veterans as a tribute for their service.  A trip which is beyond the reach of many veterans due to cost and physical limitations.

  Contact Freedom Honor Flight, La Crosse, Wisconsin. For detailed information, go to https://www.freedomhonorflight.org/. Because they are an all-volunteer organization, they are not available to answer questions at all business hours.  Please call 608-784-1015 and leave a voicemail message with your name and phone number. You can also email them at info@freedomhonorflight.org. They will respond as quickly as possible — usually within a few days.
