The Pipestone County Historical Society is a group of people dedicated to the preservation of the history of Pipestone County, Minnesota. We operate a historical museum that has many historical artifacts as well as genealogical resources.

The Society was founded in 1880, less than one year after the organization of Pipestone County, and only six years after the first permanent euro-American settlers came to this area. Although one of the younger counties in Minnesota, ours is the second oldest County Historical Society. Our museum is housed in what was once the City Hall building. We are located within the Historic District, a district which belongs to the National Register of Historic Places.  We invite your inquiries into the history of Pipestone County and would enjoy hearing from you. Thank you for your support as we work to preserve the history of Pipestone County, Minnesota.
