East Grand Forks: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

East Grand Forks is a city located in Polk County, Minnesota, situated along the Red River of the North, directly across from Grand Forks, North Dakota. The city has a rich history shaped by agriculture, transportation, and its close relationship with its sister city across the river.

The community maintains strong ties to its agricultural heritage while supporting various cultural activities in conjunction with Grand Forks, benefiting from the cultural offerings of the nearby University of North Dakota. The city's downtown area, known as The Forks, has been revitalized in recent decades and serves as a hub for local arts and community events.
