Minnegazette and Twin City Lines Back Issues

Quantities are limited. All sales are subject to availability.

$1 per issue, $10 for 12 issues. *Twin City Lines, #10-001, is priced at $5.00.

1970-March/April 1981 are 4-10 pages on plain paper with no articles and a few historical photos, but lots of museum news.

Starting with May/June 1981, the Minnegazette upgraded to a magazine format on coated paper. Still mostly museum news, but historic photos increased and articles began to appear.

In 1990, Aaron Isaacs became the editor, and the magazine grew to a standard 32 pages with greatly increased photo and history content.

In the spring of 2007, the Minnesota Streetcar Museum began publishing its own quarterly magazine, Twin City Lines. The format is similar to the Minnegazette but coverage highlights historic streetcars and transit in general.

The table below lists Twin City Lines issues from 2007-2011, two available books, followed by Minnegazettes from 1970 to 2007. Table updated April, 2011
