HCSCC's Mission

The mission of the Historical and Cultural Society of Clay County is to collect, preserve, interpret, and share the history and culture of Clay County, Minnesota.

In short, we tell local stories to, for, and about our community.

In the City of Moorhead's Hjemkomst Center HCSCC directs county archives, collections, and a local museum. The museum includes interpretation of the the Hjemkomst Viking Ship and Moorhead's Hopperstad Stave Church, along with regular lectures, festivals, and rotation of traveling exhibitions.
