Osceola Historical Society Osceola Historical Society strives to preserve the past in an effort to educate those in the future. The Osceola Historical Society (OHS) was organized in 1985.

In its
years of existence the OHS has accomplished many things, participated in and instigated many projects toward the preservation of the past. A sizeable bequest by Emily Olson, one of the founding members, allowed the Society to purchase the Andrew Jackson Clark House at 408 River Street. Now referred to as the Emily Olson house, it headquarters the OHS. Throughout its years the OHS has worked with downtown businesses to encourage restoration of their storefronts, purchased a microfilm reader housed at the public library and purchased the historic Soo Line Depot. The organization offers history-oriented programs at its monthly meetings. Board meetings are held the third Monday of the month at the Emily Olson House or online. General membership meetings are held periodically, along with programming on items of historic interest.

Mark your calendars -- 6 pm on Monday, October 12th in the Village Hall board room across the hall from the Osceola Public Library, we'll have a presentation on Standing Cedars Community Land Conservancy -- over 1700 acres of land along the St Croix south of Osceola, that has been permanently protected and preserved. You'll recognize names like Tewksbury, Buffalo Skull, Engelwood, and Brown, and learn how these properties came to be part of this remarkable collection of natural areas.
