Nicollet County has been a gateway and a gathering place for thousands of years. The County continues to be an important crossroads today with growing cities, important businesses and industry, recent immigrants, and productive agriculture.

The Nicollet County Historical Society interprets the rich history of our county, the Minnesota River Valley, and our state. Visit us at the Treaty Site History Center, Harkin Store, Fort Ridgely, or the E. St. Julien Cox House; come to a program; or search some of our collections here online or in our library.

Thanks for visiting!
