Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Blue Earth County Historical Society came to be in 1901 when a group of people decided to put up exhibits on early pioneers, industries, and lives for an event, the Semi-centennial of Mankato, to commemorate the area’s 50 years of settlement. Many years later it became a permanent display of work for people to view the collection and learn about the land’s history at any time. The History Center and Museum highlights many aspects of the people, places, and events that shaped the county. Visitors today will be able to see a diorama of downtown Mankato in the 1880s, Native American tools and artifacts, as well as an interactive children’s area complete with a pioneer cabin. Additional exhibits include an art gallery, hallway exhibits, and traveling exhibits borrowed from other museums.
