Rice County Historical Society is a Minnesota donation resource in Rice County that considers donations of objects and archival materials that have a meaningful connection to Rice County and fit its collecting mission. Potential collection donations are reviewed before acceptance; the society may decline items because of duplication, condition, or storage limitations. This is a specialized donation option rather than an unrestricted estate cleanout outlet, so donors should confirm that proposed items fit the organization’s current needs or collection policy before transporting them.

For executors and families sorting estate property, this resource may provide a local destination for qualifying items that otherwise need an appropriate reuse, charitable, or preservation outlet. Save a trip! Call first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
