In 1882, the citizens of Becker County recognized the need for preservation of the history of their community. The result was the Pioneer Settlers Union. The group, comprised of many of our founding residents, actively worked to preserve the history of their burgeoning community as it was happening. In 1924, this organization was renamed the Becker County Historical Society, but the mission stayed the same -- To preserve and communicate the history of Becker County and its people to all generations.
The Becker County Historical Society is home to extensive historical and genealogical resources. Histories of townships, local churches, families, plat maps, and indexes to some Becker County courthouse records are just some of the materials that can be found in our Walter D. Bird Memorial Library.
A history of Becker County and it's people. Exhibits featuring pioneer life, Military service and local tourism and life.
Becker County Birth, Death and Marriage Records, 100 years of area newspapers on microfilm. Thousands of photographs and home to the Heart of the Lakes Geneological Society.
