Support Us

When you give to Ramsey County Historical Society, you invest in our shared responsibility to preserve, care for, and pass on the stories that shape our communities. Through the stewardship of our collective history, we ensure that the people, places, and experiences of our past and present remain accessible to future generations.

Your generosity supports Ramsey County Historical Society in stewarding and safeguarding the historical collections, creating opportunities for community connection and learning at Gibbs Farm Historic Site, and publishing the award-winning Ramsey County History Magazine. As a community-supported nonprofit, we believe history is a precious resource we hold in trust that connects generations, deepens our understanding of the present, and helps shape our collective future.
