Our Role

The Cokato Historical Society supports the operations of the Cokato Museum & Akerlund Studio. 

First organized in 1974, the society raises funds to maintain the exhibits, programming, tours, and special events of the museum. 

A board of Trustees oversees the museum in conjunction with the City of Cokato.
