The Bremer County Historical Society

 

Organizational Overview

The museum is owned, operated and maintained by the Bremer County Historical Society, a nonprofit organization comprised of volunteers from around Bremer County, Iowa.  

 

Because of the volunteer status of the organization, we are always ready to welcome new volunteers.  We are always in need of people to help with every facet, from janitorial & building management to docents to board & committee members.  If you think you would enjoy helping the museum, please contact us!

 

Our Mission

The mission of the Bremer County Historical Society is to  kindle and keep alive an interest in local history by collecting,  preserving, and sharing materials relating to that history.
