A Story Written in the Land
In 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was signed, 99.9 percent of Minnesota's human population was Indigenous.
The "Indigenous to Explorers" exhibit on the second floor includes artifacts and more honoring the area's culture and landscape prior to contact with Europeans in 1650.

Benjamin Franklin was the U.S.'s first postmaster. Who held that title in Dassel?
You'll find that and much more out when you visit the post office exhibit on the first floor of the museum.
Make sure to have your picture taken in the restored window of the 1896 post office.

From Dassel to Hollywood
The story of Dassel's own Munchkin, Hildred Olson, and her role in the Wizard of Oz movie.
