Preserving and sharing history... everyday!
The Chisago County Historical Society has been collecting
and sharing stories and artifacts about the county, located in
the east-central region of Minnesota, since the early 1900's.
Our first museum was the WPA stone building near the
Interstate Park entrance in Taylors Falls, on the scenic St.
Croix river.
