One hundred and twenty-five years ago, a group of men from Kandiyohi County decided the time was right to commemorate the county's pioneers. Thus, the Old Settlers Association was born. Today, the Kandiyohi County Historical Society continues that tradition by preserving and protecting the county's vast and varied history. On Aug. 20, an anniversary celebration will be held at the Kandiyohi County Fairgrounds to mark the society's important birthday.
