The Jackson County Historical Society, originally established as the Old Settlers' Association in 1925, has evolved significantly since its reorganization in 1946, becoming affiliated with the Minnesota State Historical Society. Currently a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, it houses an extensive collection of historical resources, including indexes, books, microfilm, and publications that explore the rich history of Jackson County.

Located in Lakefield, the society manages a climate-controlled museum offering over 4,500 square feet of display space, showcasing historical buildings such as the Halsten-Olson log cabin and the District-5 schoolhouse. They provide valuable research assistance for genealogy and local history inquiries, striving to keep the community connected with its heritage through educational outreach and commemorative initiatives.
