The Excelsior-Lake Minnetonka Historical Society (ELMHS) is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and educating people about the history of the city of Excelsior, Minnesota. We fulfill this mission through our many collections, which include family files, house files, personal diaries, and other historical documents. ELMHS has contributed to the Minnesota Digital Library images from our Excelsior Amusement Park collection. The park was in operation from 1924-1974, and included rides such as the roller coaster, caterpillar, tilt-a-world, carousel, and Ferris wheel.
