In 1882, the citizens of Becker County recognized the need for preservation of the history of their community. The result was the Pioneer Settlers Union. The group, comprised of many of our founding residents, actively worked to preserve the history of their burgeoning community as it was happening. In 1924, this organization was renamed the Becker County Historical Society, but the mission stayed the same -- To preserve and communicate the history of Becker County and its people to all generations.
