Trustees Wanted
The Dakota County Historical Society (DCHS) is accepting applications from the general public to serve on its Board of Trustees. DCHS is committed to preserving and presenting the entire history of Dakota County. In pursuit of this mission, the Society has partnered with donors, members, 240+ volunteers and more than 40 organizations to significantly increase its size and reach over the past six years. In 2011 the Society set a program record with 75 exhibits and public programs reaching 90,000 individuals.

DCHS is seeking to add additional trustees with the passion, skills and resources to help this growing organization continue to achieve its goals and successfully execute its strategic plan. If you have a passion for history, we want to hear from you! Learn more...
