About Pine County Historical Museum

Run by the Pine County Historical Society, this museum covers local history for residents, newcomers, and out-of-area visitors. Its displays include a one-room schoolhouse, a military room that veterans particularly value, a room devoted to the county's towns where visitors research family history, and a model train room. A full-size replica of the Wright Flyer is also on display. The building holds a non-lending library of county history, old photographs, and maps. Outside is a farm machinery yard, and the site includes an antique and gift shop and the Little Mermaid Café. The society is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
