Meetings are held annually at a county site to be announced. They are usually held in April. We invite you to become a member of the Watonwan County Historical Society. Members receive a newsletter two or three times a year. Closed Sat. and Sun.
Admission is free.
Exhibits are in the main museum and breezeway leading to the building housing primarily horse-drawn farm equipment. There are about 25 display areas including the Younger Brothers Capture and a Drug Store area. The Ashippun Post Office, the first Post Office in Watonwan County, a log cabin completely restored and furnished as it was a hundred years ago, is housed in the farm equipment building. Group tours are available by prior arrangement. It is a complete 1886 plat book plus 46 Watonwan historical pictures and histories of the county, each township, past and present villages and towns.
