“Home at Last” details the history of the museum and the Stearns County Historical Society. Stearns Historical Museum Executive Director Amy Dargerstrom said the exhibit was designed to educate visitors about the museum’s history and the event was well-attended.
“We invited the whole community, so we had no idea who would come. We thought we’d have about 50 guests, so we were very happy that so many more people showed up than we expected.”
