To discover, preserve, and share the history and heritage of Chisago County, Minnesota
We collect and display cultural materials representing the scope of human activities, thoughts, and endeavors within the geographic confines of Chisago County, and outside of the region if the materials are significant to Chisago County history. We continue to build our collections within the practical constraints of storage and exhibit space, staff time, and funds for conservation of the items. Artifacts in the permanent collections must possess exhibition, educational, or research potential without resulting in substantial conservation or storage liabilities.
We depend upon donations, membership fees, grants, and funding from local units of government to fulfill our mission of preserving and celebrating local history and heritage. Financial contributions are always welcome and help to keep our services available to local school children, seniors, and other residents of, and visitors to, Chisago County.
