On October 22, 2007, the Cold Spring Area Historical Society held its first annual membership meeting. An official slate of officers was elected and the organization approved its by-laws. This story includes a number of classic photos of Cold Spring in the early years. It marks the beginning of a group of people who are passionately focused on maintaining the very special history of the Cold Spring area.
The Cold Spring Area Historical Society (CSAHS) was started by a group
of local citizens who started meeting in November 2006. It was
incorporated by the Minnesota Secretary of State in January 2007, and
is applying for 501(c)(3) non profit status. The CSAHS is interested
in preserving some of the equipment and artifacts being moved from the
current Cold Spring Granite site in downtown Cold Spring. At the
current time, CSAHS has no collections of material, however they are
currently formulating by-laws, collection priorities and procedures.
They are planning a virtual museum, research center, and Cold Spring
Museum. They are to be affiliated with both the Minnesota Historical
Society and the Stearns County Historical Society and Museum.
