The Osceola Historical Society strives to preserve the past in an effort to educate those in the future
The Osceola Historical Society (OHS) was organized in 1985. In its 26 years of existence the OHS has accomplished much, participated in and instigated many projects toward the preservation of the past. A sizeable bequest by Emily Olson, one of the founding members, allowed the Society to purchase the Andrew Jackson Clark House at 408 River Street. Now referred to as the Emily Olson house, it headquarters the OHS. Throughout its years the OHS has worked with downtown businesses to encourage restoration of their storefronts, purchased a microfilm reader housed at the public library and purchased the historic Soo Line Depot. The organization offers history-oriented programs at its monthly meetings.
Board meetings are held the third Monday of the month at the Emily Olson House. General membership meetings are held at the Osceola Medical Center quarterly or as announced in newsletter.
