Our rebuilding effort...
Work on the new Heritage Center began on Oct. 1 and we will move in late this spring. We know you are just as excited as we are!!
Watch the walls go up in these timelapse videos. After much study, we decided to rebuild the Heritage Center at our existing site in the northeast corner of the fairgrounds. Thanks to all who gave input as we researched what was best for ICHS. |

Now accepting paper/photo items
While we do not have a large amount of space to accept larger items, we have begun accepting paper/photo items to replace burned copies. If you feel you have something of importance to Isanti County history (large or small) either email ichsdonate@gmail.com, or fill out an online form by clicking here. You will then be contacted to discuss your item(s).
Do you have...
Following is a list of these family histories we would need to replace. If you have a copy, or know of someone that may, please contact the office. You would not necessarily have to donate your copy, but if you would allow us to scan a clean copy we would then not have to trim the burned version. The less dirty work the better, I say.
