The two dimensional artifacts in the Society's permanent collection consist of over 30,000 objects. Most of the objects in our collection are given to us by individuals and families, people who want to make sure Blue Earth County's story, and their own, are never forgotten. Your grandfather's World War II letters and your aunt's graduation photo can be as important as a rare piece of 19th century furniture. Anything that can help BECHS preserve the memories and experiences of Blue Earth County's diverse people is valuable. Please contact Shelley Harrison, Archives Manager if you think that you would like to make donation a family treasure
