Lyon County Historical Society

The Lyon County Historical Society showcases the history of the entire county, from its land grant beginning to today.

The Lyon County Historical Society (LCHS) is a non-profit, member supported organization located in downtown Marshall, MN.  LCHS operates the Lyon County Museum located at 301 West Lyon Street.  

The stories of Lyon County, the artifacts, photographs, and the exhibits at the museum are the responsibility of all of us.  The Lyon County Historical Society is asking for help to preserve the stories of Lyon County and to share them with visitors who come to our county museum.  Your generosity allows us to fulfill our Mission Statement:

The purpose of the society shall be the collection, preservation, and dissemination of knowledge about the history of Lyon County and to relate it to the history of the region and the state of Minnesota.

The Lyon County Historical Society moved to the former Marshall-Lyon County Library building in August 2012.  LCHS renovated and established new exhibits in the building.  Along with exhibits, the Lyon County Museum has a Gift Shop, Ice Cream Shop, and Research Center.

Your donation full supports exhibits, preservation, and programs at the Lyon County Museum.  Please consider donating to the Lyon County Historical Society.  Thank you for your support!
