The Steele County Historical Society (SCHS) is dedicated to preserving our past, sharing our county's stories, and connecting people with history in new and meaningful ways. We do this today for the benefit of future generations, because history matters!
Steele County and the SCHS are part of Minnesota's rich and diverse history. Established in 1949 to preserve the history of Steele County, we have since grown to become one of the largest and most prestigious historical societies in the state. We play an important role in historic preservation, education, and tourism, and we provide the public with educational award-winning programs, exhibitions, and events.
We owe it to future generations to be good stewards of the past. Join us and be a part of this mission. It's the best deal in history!
