New St. Cloud Book!

We’re excited to announce the upcoming publication of “Images of America: St. Cloud”. This book, researched and written by SHM Librarian Miranda Stueckrath and Archivist Grant Wilson, is a pictorial history of the city, featuring photos chosen from the museum collection.

Books will be available in the museum store, at other local retailers, and online on Tuesday May 5.   Royalties from the purchase of the book come directly back to support the Stearns History Museum.
