The Minnesota Veterans Memorial is a collection of memorials to every conflict. It is located on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in front of the Agricultural/Horticultural building.
The memorial was dedicated in 2005 with the first plaque of Minnesota Medal of Honor recipients. In subsequent years new plaques have been added for different wars. Based on available space, I'd assume that more war memorial plaques will be added in the future.
There's also a Blue Star Memorial plaque present.

Civil War
World War I
