Stearns History Museum Offering Special Deal to County Residents
ST. CLOUD (WJON News) -- A local museum is celebrating a big anniversary with a special deal for area residents.
The Stearns History Museum has announced that admission will be free for all Stearns County residents in 2024. The museum is celebrating its 40th anniversary in its current location beside Heritage Park this year.
