THE MISSION OF THE ZUMBROTA AREA HISTORICAL SOCIETY shall be to collect, preserve, and interpret knowledge about the history of the Zumbrota area, and to relate that history to the State of Minnesota.
The above image: Excerpted from the News Record of April 26, 2007: "The ZAHS sign, created by Mike Meyer of Mazeppa, newly installed on the museum building. It is both painted and carved, featuring reflective metallic gold and silver lettering. This initial Z is almost unique among Minnesota cities, sharing it only with Zumbro Falls. The Old English type style of Z was also used for many years by the Zumbrota News."
Entry, Rest Room, and Main Floor displays are handicapped accessible. Other exhibits are on second level, reached by moderate stairs with hand rails both sides. In-front or nearby parking is essentially always available.

Monetary Donations are always welcome. Also please remember us when you wish to honor a loved one with a memorial----or arrange a bequest in your Will or Trust. Such funds will support our mission and goals.
Also, don't discard those "old" Artifacts, Photos, or Documents! Please let us evaluate them for historical importance related to the Zumbrota area. If it's interesting, if we don't already have one like it, and if it fits, WE WILL APPRECIATE HAVING IT!
PS: We don't collect any agricultural tools and/or equipment, but if you have some you would like to donate, you might want to inquire at the Goodhue Area Historical Society and/or the Goodhue County Historical Society.
