The St. Paul Academy of Natural Sciences is formed. The group suspended activities after the state capitol fire of 1881 destroyed its collection, reorganized in 1890, and handed over its new collection to the St. Paul Institute of Science and Letters in 1907. The institute evolved into the Science Museum of Minnesota.
