Along with an extensive exhibit area and art gallery, our building houses a document and photograph archive. A workshop and storage area provides space to manage and maintain a large collection. Research information for family history and genealogy is provided in a library which includes printed materials and microfilms. A large meeting room and attached kitchen provide a comfortable place for historical programs and other public and private gatherings.

History

Preserving local history has been an important undertaking in McLeod County since the old settlers gathered in the late 19th century to share their stories. According to local records, residents of McLeod County began to establish local historical societies as early as 1906.

In 1940, the McLeod County Historical Society was formally established and it incorporated the local historical chapters. The entire society met annually with chapters meeting more frequently. In 1952, the society reorganized, with a new constitution and bylaws combining area chapters into one united society.
