A Community Effort

---

In the late 1920s, Cokato's citizens recognized the importance of collecting and preserving the history of the city and surrounding area.

From its inception, the Cokato Museum has striven to push the boundaries of a quintessential small-town museum--creating innovative ways to serve its community and mission.

 The Museum's success is due to the many years of cooperation and support from the Cokato Historical Society, City of Cokato, staff, and countless volunteers.  It is truly a
​community effort.

Please stop in and see what we have to offer! We look forward to your visit!
