At War & At Home | The WWII Experience
July 8th – 9th
We’re bringing back our annual WWII weekend! You can expect the Museum to be full of family-friendly activities, reenactors, interactive exhibits, and a lot more.
Where Are We Going? Stearns County Maps
At their most basic level, maps tell us the location and shape of a geographical location at the time it was surveyed. Maps can be used for tracing property ownership, family history, road maps, and even show how the character of an area has changed over time.
Show your support!
The Stearns County History Museum is more than just a museum – it’s a vibrant community hub that brings people together to learn, connect, and celebrate the unique heritage of central Minnesota.
