 Isanti County Historical Society Heritage Center, Cambridge MN, was destroyed by arson Friday July 8, 2011. MHS Local History Services assisted with disaster recovery the following day. The museum building is a total loss. While the majority of the collection was also lost, that which was recovered were among the most important for documenting the county's history. There are photographs taken during the Saturday disaster response and recovery mission posted in Minnesota Local History on Facebook. Pictured above is the award of an emergency state grant to assist with the cleaning and rehousing of recovered historic resources. Kathy McCully accepted the check from MHS Director Steve Elliott in the presence of Gov. Mark Dayton, who toured the site on Monday July 25, 2011.
