The Stearns History Museum presents a new exhibit, entitled “Rising to the Crisis: A County Responds to a World in Turmoil.”
What does it mean to strive for the greater good? Rising to the Crisis examines Stearns County’s response to War World II. More than 4,000 Stearns County residents joined the military, and people on the home front volunteered for the Red Cross, collected scrap metal, and planted Victory Gardens. Also, view their video on V-Mail and discover the heart-wrenching story of Bernice “Bunny” Feneis and Ervin “Stubbie” Decker. Relive the experiences of Stearns County residents who served our county overseas and at home during the war effort.
The Stearns History Museum is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

Why Treaties Matter: Self-Government in the Dakota and Ojibwe Nations
2022-01-05 - 2022-03-03
The Stearns History Museum is presenting a new exhibit, Why Treaties Matter: Self-Government in the Dakota and Ojibwe Nations.
The traveling exhibition offers an opportunity to learn more about the Native nations in Minnesota and the history of treaty-making with the United States. It relays Minnesota’s Native history in the voices of Dakota and Ojibwe people in this place once called “Mnisota.” It includes 20 freestanding panels and a 14-minute video, “A Day in the Life of Minnesota Tribal Nations.”
Many people believe the United States gave land to Native Americans, but the reverse is true. Under pressure, the tribal nations often gave up large portions of their homelands to retain reservations, small land areas for the exclusive use of their people and descendants. The United States promised to provide them with social, economic, and educational services in return. It’s a responsibility that continues today.
The exhibit runs during Stearns History Museum hours now through March 3.
