About us

The Virginia Area Historical Society was established in 1978 to collect, preserve, and disseminate the history of Virginia, Minnesota, and the surrounding area. We are a 501(c)(3) Minnesota nonprofit corporation managed by a volunteer board of directors and one part-time staff member.  VAHS is an affiliate of the St. Louis County Historical Society.
