The Cuyuna Country Heritage Preservation Society is a private, nonprofit organization, established in 1989 by a few members who recognized the need to preserve this history before it was lost for all time. There currently are 17 members on the Board of Directors, and 5 networking members, who comprise today's CCHPS. These are devoted historians, whose mission is to collect and preserve all physical artifacts, documents, manuscripts, photographs, maps--all materials that document human life in Cuyuna Country. Of great importance to the Society is their work to tape record and transcribe every possible oral history from everyone who has shared in the history of Cuyuna Country: the early homesteaders/settlers and their families, immigrants, the iron miners, the lumbermen, the "ma and pa" business owners (entrepreneurs), the schoolteachers, the ministers, the medical people--all who have fascinating stories to tell.
