Ramsey County Historical Society

The Society began in 1949 when a group of citizens led by local resident Mrs. Ethel Stewart, moved to acquire and preserve the Heman and Jane Gibbs farm in Falcon Heights. Following five years of restoration work, the Gibbs Farm museum opened its gates in 1954. In 1974, the farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Ramsey County Historical Society (RCHS) aims to preserve and learn from local history to inform the present and future. Today, RCHS maintains a robust collections department, a quarterly publication, and hosts a variety of events throughout the year.

The Society is a not-for-profit 501(c)3, donor-supported organization that depends on gifts from individuals, foundation and corporations for its support.
