Our History:
The Kanabec County Historical Society was organized in 1931. The fledgling organization got off to a slow start becoming completely inactive three years later. Several attempts to revitalize the group failed but in 1968, under new leadership, the Society reorganized and gained substantial public interest and support. After first meeting in the former Izaak Walton building, the Society opened its first museum facility in the basement of the old Mora Fire Hall in 1972. It began actively collecting artifacts soon recognizing the need for a permanent site in which to care for and exhibit the collections and to be able to offer public programming. These goals were realized in 1978 when the Kanabec History Center was constructed and opened to the public. Years later we are still here, and we still try and uphold the goals set by the Pete McVay when the building was constructed in memory of his wife.
