Roseau County Historical Society History|
Roseau County Historical Society is dedicated to the collection,
preservation and exhibition of the Roseau County heritage.
The Society locates and collects any material which may help to
establish or illustrate the history of Roseau County.
Over the years printed materials, manuscripts, pictures, videos,
American Indian artifacts, and personal or public items illustrative
of life, conditions, events, or activities from throughout the county
have been gathered to help illustrate the history of Roseau County.
Many of these items are on display at the Roseau County Historical
Museum and Interpretive Center in Roseau. The exhibits offer new and
long time residents, young people, and visitors the opportunity to
remember or learn the rich history of Roseau County. From early
geological formation, native and immigrant exploration and settlement,
to regional developments in population, education, religion, art,
science, agriculture, manufacturing and trade, our heritage is
preserved at the Museum and Interpretive Center.
The work of the Society is not limited to the museum. While gathering
county historical information, the Society seeks opportunities to
share this history with others.
Throughout the year the Society sponsors meetings, lectures, newspaper
articles and tours. Many individuals utilize the society's vast
collections as resources for researching family histories, preparing
educational papers, or simply reliving a bit of yesterday.
An ongoing project for the County of Clover Society is the marking of
cemeteries, Indian villages, sites, and trails throughout North Star
