PENNINGTON COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

The Pennington County Historical Society was founded in late July 1938, at a meeting of the Society for the American Sons and Daughters of Sweden in Thief River Falls. A committee was appointed at that time to organize a Pennington County Historical Society. This committee, composed of Paul Lundgren, who also served as the society's first board chairman, Mrs. Theodore (Adelaide) Quale, Mrs. Andrew (Edith) Bottelson, Judge M.A. Brattland and Andrew Anderson, then proceeded to launch an organization that has survived all of these many years... This Museum, which, along with the Society's Website, is the major focal point available to the public, is a source of pride and commitment for the entire community.
