Exhibits
Exhibits at the Chaska History Center are built from personal stories, archival documents, and items from our collections, bringing Chaska’s history to life through research and storytelling. History Center volunteers play a vital role in researching topics, curating materials, and preparing displays that highlight significant moments, industries, and community experiences. In addition to creating exhibits, our volunteers can assist visitors with accessing our digital library for research. If you have questions—or an idea for a future exhibit—we invite you to contact us or stop by the History Center to learn more.
