Dassel Area Historical Society
The Dassel Area Historical Society preserves the past, enriches the present, and secures the future in its mission to the community of Dassel.
Dassel is home to a very active historical society, which manages the museum at the Universal Lab Building located at 901 First St. N., north of town in Dassel. The ULB is on the National Register of Historic Places, and in 2006, was named one of the 25 top preservation projects in the state of Minnesota by the Minnesota Preservation Alliance.
The society is also in the middle of a fundraising campaign, Building on the Vision, to add an annex on the west side of the building.
Not only does the building house a museum, but also cultural events and Dassel Township board of supervisor meetings. It is also available for business and organizational meetings
The museum is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and during the summer, Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Officers of the society are Deanna Martens, president; Jerry Bollman, vice president and chairman of the board; Diane Johnson, secretary; and Rory Smith, treasurer. Mary Jane Arens is financial officer. Julie Lindquist is museum director. Amy Wilde and Kristi Rorah are assistant directors.
