The Women Who Have Shaped the Ramsey County Historical Society

Author: Andrea Swensson, Youa Vang, Meredith Cummings

For the past year, Ramsey County Historical Society has focused its lens on its own past in observation of its seventy-fifth anniversary. Founded in April 1949 by community historian Ethel Stewart and her fellow officers from the St. Anthony Park Area Historical Association,1 and wholly inspired by the value Stewart saw in a nineteenth century farmstead inhabited by Jane DeBow Gibbs and her husband, Heman, Ramsey County Historical Society’s mission has been shaped by determined women working tirelessly to preserve important stories. From the founding of this very magazine by Virginia Brainard Kunz sixty-one years ago to the countless others who have since contributed to the magazine, collected artifacts, created exhibits, and served on RCHS’s various boards and committees, women have been at the heart of this organization at every step of its now seventy-six-year story.
