Official Tweets from the Pipestone Chamber & CVB. A nonprofit community membership organization. The Voice of Business & Community Champion since 1927. The mission of the Pipestone County Historical Society and Museum (founded in 1880 as The Old Settlers Historical Society) is to foster an awareness of our county's history and its connection with Minnesota, regional, and national history. This mission reflects our belief that the study of the past enriches perspective on the present and provides guidance for the future. To carry out this mission, and to protect the resources which foster historic awareness, the Society collects, preserves, and exhibits artifacts which educate visitors about our past in the Pipestone County Museum. The Museum manages an archives and research library providing unique resources for the study of local history and genealogy. The Society produces publications related to our activities and local history subjects. Museum staff furnishes tours and history-related programs to schools, community groups, institutions and the general public. We also cooperate with other organizations in protecting and preserving buildings and monuments which reflect our unique community heritage.
