The History Center of Olmsted County temporarily closed its doors during the two shut downs and that also includes the Mayowood Mansion. Like many other businesses, the center lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue because of the pandemic. The executive director, Wayne Gannaway, said history is constantly happening and one day, there will be an exhibit in the history center about the year 2020. He explained the way we learn lessons is through history. "We hopefully learned lessons from the flu pandemic from 1918 and hopefully, cross your fingers that our descendants will learn from us in 2020," said Gannaway. "Because certainly, we could have probably improved on one or two things in 2020."
