Current projects, continued:
For the past ten years, the Chisago County Historical Society has partnered with the Library of Congress to honor our nation's
military veterans and those who served in support of them. We
have been videotaping interviews of local veterans and sharing the
videos with the American Folklife Center as part of the national Veterans History Project. It also provides copies of the interviews
to family members and the local cable television channels.
In the 1980's, volunteers from the Chisago County Historical Society walked all of the cemeteries and reviewed Chisago county death certificates. A 500+ page Burials in Chisago County book was the result of this work. Those records continue to be updated with obituaries published in local newspapers. This data is now online with photographs of many of the headstones in those cemeteries. To learn more about this project, visit our Cemeteries page.
