CALL FOR EXHIBIT ITEMS

Showcase your treasures!

The Nicollet County Historical Society’s latest exhibit, Brewers and Bottlers: A Refreshing History of Beer and Soda Making in Nicollet County, opens on April 16 and we need your help.

No exhibit is complete without visuals to accompany the text. We’re hoping you might loan us historical items you have gathered over the years from breweries and soda makers throughout the Minnesota River Valley.

NCHS is looking for

  • Photographs
  • Bottles & cases
  • Signs
  • Collectibles such as glassware, coasters, writing implements, etc.
  • Company documents such as letterhead
  • … and more!

If you have items to share, please make an appointment to bring them to the Treaty Site History Center between March 28-April 2, 2022. There is a brief form to fill out that includes any history you can provide of the item for exhibit labeling. 

Don’t have items to loan or donate, but still want to help? Please consider making a monetary investment to help with exhibit production and marketing. Click the button below and tell us you’re designating the funds for the exhibit.

Contact Jessica at 507-934-2160 or exhibits@nchsmn.org for more details.
