Beltrami Historical Society

NEW EXHIBIT OPENING JULY 3
Thanks to a generous grant from the George W. Neilson Foundation, the Beltrami County History Center is creating a new exhibit on Beltrami County history, which will cover county history from the time the glaciers receded to the mid-20th century. With over 60 additional feet of new exhibit cases, this exhibit will feature much more of the History Center’s extensive collections! Exhibit opens July 3, 2013.
Book Signing for New Bemidji Book
Cecelia Wattles McKeig, author of numerous books on local history (including Bermidji 1940-1960 and The Poor Fund, the Poor Farm, and the Pauper’s Cemetery) will be at the Beltrami County History Center Saturday, June 15th from 2:00pm-4pm to sign copies of her newest book, “Bemidji,” from Arcadia Publishing. “Bemidji” provides a visual tour of Bemidji history from the 1890s to the 1930s featuring images from the Beltrami County Historical Society’s collections. Through these images and narration, readers learn how this logging town survived and became one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Midwest.
