Our Fall Event was held at the Brookdale Library on November 11th and was very well attended.
Author Curtis Dahlin will talked about his book titled the "Dakota Uprising Victims" , a monumental work on the civil war era conflict between Minnesota Native Americans and the Soldiers of the day that were to work to preserve the safety of the farmers, settlers and immigrants of the day. More details were on our MEETINGS page!

Artifacts & Community Records are an important asset of any historical group. We're able to help people that are researching their history in the area. We provide access to census records, land ownership maps, cemetery and other historical information. Our books like "The Brooklyn's" can be tremendous sources of community history.
Since 1970, the Brooklyn Historical Society has been a growing home for historical memorabilia and records. Let us know if you have something you'd like to donate! Thanks! |
