Virginia Area Historical Society

The Virginia Area Historical Society was established in 1978 to collect, preserve, and disseminate the history of Virginia, Minnesota, and surrounding area. We are a 501(c)(3) organization run by a board of directors. VAHS is an affiliate of the St. Louis County Historical Society. 

At our Heritage Museum, we collect and preserve objects, photos, and other materials that tell the stories of the people who have lived and worked in Virginia, MN, and its surrounding area. We create exhibits and plan programs to bring those stories to the public. Our large collection of photos, newspapers, books, and documents is available for researchers.

Your donations help preserve our communities' heritage and keep history alive for the future.
