The Renville County Historical Society & Museum actively requests local-history materials for its collections and research library. Current official posts invite people to donate items for exhibits and seek yearbooks, platbooks, phonebooks, family-history information, obituaries and related archival materials that document Renville County people and communities.

This is a specialized historical donation resource rather than a general household-goods outlet. Executors handling local yearbooks, photographs, papers, directories, family files or other Renville County historical material should contact museum staff before bringing items. Collection relevance and current museum needs determine what can be accepted. Save a trip! Call first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
