MHA Nation Interpretive Center

Celebrating past, present, and future along the Missouri River

The campus features a 500-seat outdoor amphitheater nestled next to a beautiful three-story building. On the main level visitors will encounter a 7,577 sq. ft. museum area, interactive kiosks, coffee and gift shops, and a 250-seat conference space with demonstration rooms. Traditional meals will be prepared in a state-of-the-art kitchen for special events. Visitors can enjoy the rooftop gardens and observation areas on the top floor. The lower level houses ten administrative offices and archive rooms for the permanent collection.

Not only is this a project of historical significance, it employs sustainable design, technology, and building practices to minimize its impact on the environment.
