Historical & Cultural Society of Clay County

​The Historical and Cultural Society of Clay County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to promoting local history in Clay County. We direct and oversee the museum, archives, and cultural programming. Our mission is to collect, preserve, interpret, and share the history and culture of Clay County, Minnesota.
​
We are located in the City of Moorhead’s Hjemkomst Center. We direct the Clay County museum, manage the county's archives, and provide tours of Moorhead's Hjemkomst Viking Ship and Hopperstad Stave Church Replica. We also maintain historic sites throughout Clay County, including the Comstock House and the Bergquist Cabin.

To stay connected to HCSCC's latest events, exhibitions, and research, sign up for our semi-monthly eNewsletter here.
