⏳ Only ONE WEEK to Go! 🎉🏛️

The countdown is on! In just ONE WEEK, the doors will officially open to the Mitchell County Historical Museum, and we want this to be a celebration for all of Mitchell County.

Our dream is simple: to have representatives from every town and community in the county join us for this historic occasion. Whether you’re from Osage, St. Ansgar, Riceville, Orchard, Little Cedar, McIntire, Stacyville, Mona, or any of our rural neighborhoods, this museum tells your story.

Inside you’ll discover:
✨ Artifacts never before displayed to the public
✨ Incredible exhibits that bring our county’s history to life
✨ Stories of the pioneers, families, businesses, and communities that shaped who we are today
✨ A place where future generations can connect with their heritage

This museum wasn’t built for one town—it was built for the entire county. It’s a place to celebrate our shared history and preserve it for those who come after us.

Help us make history by being part of history. Invite your family, tag your friends, and let’s see every Mitchell County community represented at the Grand Opening!

📅 Saturday, June 13
🕑 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM
