The Freeborn County Historical Society was established in January of 1948 at an organizational meeting held in the law offices of J. F. D. Meighen. These founding members organized the society with the intention of collecting and preserving the history of Freeborn County. In November 1955, FCHS purchased 42 steel lockers from the Jordahl plant in Manchester to be installed in the engineer's office in the old courthouse for storing documents. On February 20, 1960, FCHS officially open its museum in the basement of the courthouse building. In 1966 FCHS constructed a museum building. on land leased through the county located next to the Freeborn County Fairgrounds. We have had two expansions to the museum building, one in 1980 and the latest in 2013. We are committed to building the future by preserving the past.
