It’s more than just a museum!  Climb aboard a railroad caboose.  Sit behind an old school desk in the country school.  There’s so much to see at the Kittson County Museum and History Center in Lake Bronson!  Whether you have an interest in early pioneer life, agriculture, genealogy, or just like to look at “old & interesting items” – this is the museum to visit!  The large exhibit area includes pioneer-era displays, a large machinery collection, and a nice collection of antique & classic vehicles.  You can also check out the historic such as a log cabin, a Soo Line depot & caboose, a country school & a country church.
