Iverson Log Cabin Project
The log cabin was built in 1879 by Henry Iverson in Tunsberg Township. The Ostlie/Lund family purchased the land and cabin in 1948. The cabin has had many uses over the years, its most recent being a hunting shack. by request from the Ostlie Family, the cabin will be named the Iverson Log Cabin. The cabin will be used for exhibits and the exhibit hall will be named the Evie Ostlie Annex.

The Log Cabin and the Funeral Parlor are now on site at Historic Chippewa City. We received $30,000 in monetary and in-kind donations to complete Phase 1 of the Cabin Project. Phase 2 will commence in early Spring 2025. An additional $30,000 will be required to complete the removal of the siding and roof, install electricity, gutting the interior, and various other projects.

Collective AccessCollective Access, a cloud based collections management system, has been implemented and work is ongoing on getting all our artifacts listed and updated with photos, source and other information about each item. You can check out what we have done so far by going to https://mncollections.org, and scroll down to find Chippewa County Historical Society. We will be making more items viewable as they are updated and entered into the system. You can also take a stroll through other Historical Society and Museum collections!
