The first white settlers came to
what is now Blue Earth County in 1852, and discovered an abundance of rich
land, streams, rivers, and lakes for survival in southern Minnesota. Showcasing
photographs from the area's first 70 years, the Blue Earth County Historical
Society has compiled over 200 images of the lifestyles and advancements of its
earliest settlers.
The pioneers of Blue Earth County recognized the potential for success at the bend in the Minnesota River, and forged a vibrant community out of the big woods and prairies of southern Minnesota. Pictured here are the fruits of those settlers' labors, seen in vintage images from the townships of Blue Earth County, including life on the farms and in the towns.

rich heritage for past and future generations. Using unpublished photographs
from its own archives as well as from county residents, the Society offers a
glimpse of the pioneering spirit that made Blue Earth County what it is today.
