Located along the banks of the Crow River in
Rockford, MN, the Rockford Area Historical
Society was formed in 1986 to collect, preserve
and interpret Rockford's dynamic history. The
historical society also manages the Ames-Florida-
Stork House, a historic house museum listed on
the National Register of Historic Places.
Visitors to the historical society can enjoy tours of
the Stork House, participate in programs for both
children and adults, engage in historical and
genealogical research, take in interesting exhibits
and attend special events.
