Judy Garland Museum, Grand Rapids MN

Born Frances Gumm in Grand Rapids, Minnesota in 1922, the world came to know her better as legendary entertainer Judy Garland. The Gumm family moved to California when Judy was just a child, but visitors can tour the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, especially during the exciting Wizard of Oz Festival each June. In addition, you can walk through the house Judy grew up in.

Production funding provided by the Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund and by the members of Prairie Public.

About the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund
In 2008, Minnesota voters passed a landmark piece of legislation — the Minnesota Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment — which provided funding to public television stations serving audiences in Minnesota. Its mission is to help preserve and document the treasures of culture, history, and heritage that make Minnesota special, and to increase access to the natural and cultural resources we all share.
