Our Mission

       Our mission is to gather, preserve and disseminate history for the enjoyment

       and education of young and old, residents and travelers alike.  The artifacts donated 

       to the museum, are symbols of our pride in the past.  We are thankful for the foresight 

       and hard work of this organization's founders and we continue to be dedicated to 

       preserving our county heritage.

    Artifacts in the History Center have been donated by Anoka County families.

    Museum operations depend on donations, membership fees, and funding by the Anoka County Board of Commissioners.

    The Anoka County History Center & Library   is also the home of the  Anoka County Genealogical Society, 

    an affiliate of the Anoka Co., Historical Society.
