Preserving and Sharing Chanhassen History
The Chanhassen Historical Society was formed with this mission: To enhance the lives of the larger Chanhassen community through the collection, preservation, interpretation and sharing of its history. The Board of Directors has worked in partnership with the Carver County Historical Society to make us a successful non-profit entity with long-term goals, one of which is finding a site to call our own where we can organize, archive, educate and enlighten the citizens of our community.
Welcome to Chanhassen Historical Society

Through our educational projects, quarterly newsletter, and growing membership, we strive to keep Chanhassen’s vibrant past alive for generations to come. Whether you’re interested in volunteering, becoming a member, or simply learning more about our efforts, we’re thrilled to have you here and invite you to join us in celebrating our shared heritage.
