Edina Historical Society

spurred by the city's effort to save historic cahill school and provide history-themed programs for the building, a group of citizens formed the edina historical society in 1969. led by the city of edina, they successfully restored the school, created a living history field trip program and began collecting stories and artifacts from edina's early settlement years. the society still works to preserve history from each era of the community's development, from the agricultural era to the early suburban years to present day. we operate the edina history museum at arneson acres park and living history programs at two of edina's oldest buildings, historic cahill school and historic 1879 minnehaha grange hall, located at tupa park. the edina historical society is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that relies on the support of its members and the public.
