How to Donate

Dear Friend:

The Cokato Museum & Historical Society is devoted to developing professional, engaging, and innovative ways to serve its community and preserve its history. Since its opening in 1976, the historical society has worked in partnership with the City of Cokato to support the operation of the museum & studio. During a typical year, the society provides 20-25% of that total cost. Your tax deductible donation goes a long way in supporting our efforts. If you wish, choose to donate towards Museum Funds or Special Projects. We greatly appreciate you.
