Harrison, Minneapolis

Harrison is a neighborhood in the Near North community in the U.S. city of Minneapolis, located to the west of downtown.

Its boundaries are roughly, Olson Memorial Highway to the north, Lyndale Avenue to the east, Bassetts Creek to the south, and Theodore Wirth Park to the west.

From approximately 1900 to 1960 much of the Harrison Neighborhood area was informally and widely known as the 'Finn Town' of the Minneapolis St. Paul vicinity[5].

From around the 1960s, Harrison began to lose its Finnish identity and gradually evolved into a very multi-racial and multi-ethnic neighborhood.

Prince continued to visit his father at this house in Harrison well into his career as an internationally acclaimed musician.
