SGU Office Gallery
At SGU office, we exhibit a gallery of Hmong soldiers, politicians, current and previous Board members, and selected artifacts. There’s also in-house photographs with Gen. Vang Pao and Board members.
Our office is open to the public. However, due to short staff, we recommend you call in advance to schedule a visit.
With state funding from the 2023 MN Legislature, SGU plans to open a future museum in the near future to fully raise awareness and share the veterans and Hmong of Minnesota community experiences and stories.
We need your help to make this museum possible for our veterans, their families, and for current and future generations.
