This is your history. Preserve it.
Nicollet County has been a gateway and a gathering place for over 9,000 years. It is the place where the big woods, tallgrass prairie, and Minnesota River come together. Today people from all over the world – from students to recent immigrants to urbanites continue to gather here and call Nicollet County home. We collect and share their stories because what happens here matters.
