Chisago County Historical Society

Every town has a story. Together, let's keep Chisago County's alive.

History isn’t just a subject in a textbook—it’s the living story of how our community became who we are today.

Why Your Support Matters

History is about documenting change and preserving the stories woven into the buildings, landscapes, and artifacts that remain. By safeguarding these pieces of the past, we connect yesterday's traditions with today's community identity.

The Chisago County Historical Society is dedicated to saving and sharing this heritage across every corner of our county:

• Lindstrom Museum & Research Library: Open year-round for community visits and family genealogy research.

• Rush City Museum & Fairgrounds: Open seasonally (May–September), featuring two historic buildings on the county fairgrounds.

• Honoring Our Veterans: Proud participant in the Library of Congress Veterans History Project, having preserved the stories of over 100 local veterans.

• Community Education: Interactive year-round exhibits and quarterly educational publications.

This Give to the Max Day, your gift keeps our history alive. Help us expand digital access, preserve irreplaceable artifacts, and keep our doors open to future generations.
