We are very fortunate and lucky to have the Ground Break Speech, given by Pete McVay 40 years ago when the Kanabec History Center was being built. We here at the history center find that this speech, relevant 40 years ago, is still relevant now 40 years later. So please, click the image below and read the speech given.

If you missed it! Here's the special presentation by Paul Kilgor! He wrote the article (for sale in the giftshop) and this was the speech he gave during our 40th Anniversary Celebration.

We received a grant and our new handicap ramp has been installed in front of the main door. There will be more grassy areas in front. It will be a mess for awhile but should look great by the 40th Anniversary Party in June. Please be patient with the construction inconvenience.

Parents - Do you know where your children are? Due to insurance and safety concerns we try to secure the caboose as much as possible, but with the warmer weather, we are yet again experiencing an increase in late night and weekend damage to the Caboose at KHC. Our most recent issue was sometime this past weekend and included the disrespect and vandalism and damage to our property and windows on the caboose in order for them to gain entry. Unfortunately, this has added an additional expense and work to our non-profit history center! We are looking for volunteers to fund and/or do the repair that is now necessary to our caboose. Please call 320-679-1665 or stop in if you are able to help us out!!

Our 16th Annual Tour of Gardens was a smashing success!
In mid-July a tree branch fell on our swing set during a storm. Board Member Matt Anderson cut up the wood so volunteer Bill Leppanen could repair it.
Kendra Vogel won our raffle of a Mora 125-year Anniversary throw blanket.
Our first session of Old Tyme Country School went very well! The kids had a great time with new teacher Rachel Schmeltzer.
(No Photo) We now accept cash, check, and credit/debit cards at the History Center!
