TH 55, or Hiawatha Avenue, serves as an important gateway into Minneapolis from the international airport and communities to the southeast. Mn/DOT, in partnership with the Minneapolis Park Board, relocated and restored the historic "Longfellow House" and reconnected the areas of Minnehaha Park that had been cut off by Hiawatha Avenue.
