Governor Walz has issued an executive order to “Stay At Home” and we’ll do just that! The Stearns History Museum building will be closed through May 1 as required by the state. However, we’re busy working from home and look forward to providing some great digital content in the coming month. Look for "Stories of Our Stuff" and "Stearns Stories", on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.  Connect with our Research Center staff for family history and other archive questions via e-mail and search our online catalog.  Please feel free to e-mail us at info@stearns-museum.org or call 320-253-8424. We’ll still be checking messages and are available to help. Be sure to journal and record your stories about this impactful time in history. We may be asking you to share them in the coming months!

The Stearns History Museum is dedicated to keeping our visitors updated about COVID-19, and is committed to the safety and well-being of our community. At this time, we are following the Minnesota Department of Health recommendations combined with the CDC’s Community Mitigation Strategy for workplace and community-based organizations. We'll be in touch with updates as we have them. Your support is valued now more than ever. Please consider a donation to keep history alive and thriving in Stearns County.

We’re all in this together. Stay home. Stay safe. We'll see you soon!
