Let’s celebrate!

In 2025, Historic Cook County will be celebrating our 100th year of collecting, preserving, and sharing the history of Cook County and Grand Portage, Minnesota. Next year, we have exciting new events and features in the works, and we can’t wait to share those with you. Until then, we’re inviting you to start the celebration early with us with our 100-year calendar!

We went through hundreds of photos looking for ones we felt captured the area over the past 100 years (and let us say, it was very difficult narrowing them down). One thing we do know is that we wouldn’t have many photo options if it weren’t for people like you sharing them with us for the past 99 years, and supporting the Historical Society in other ways.

Thank you for supporting our work in the past, whether that’s been through an item donation, digital donation, monetary donation, being a member, attending events, purchasing books or artwork, engaging with our content on social media, or in other ways.

As we end 2024, we’re asking again for your support, and any donation of $50 or more through December 31 (extended to January 31!) will receive a free HCC Calendar!

NOTE: Due to a printing error, calendars will ship in early January.
