The Koochiching County Historical Society is pleased to invite it's members to the 65th Annual Membership meeting on October 8th, 2026, at the Ranier Community Building. Every year we get together to share a recap of the events, past and on-going projects, and other updates from the museum. It's also the time of year when new Board of Directors are voted on and we need YOU, the membership, to vote these folks in.

This year, our guest speaker is Randy Gawtry from the Finstad Foundation. Randy will be sharing details and answering your questions about the architectural updates and stabilization projects to Ranier's beloved Finstad Auto Marine Shop. He will also share what's coming up next and what we can expect to see happening at the Marine Shop in the coming months.

Our meeting starts at 6:00 p.m. and tickets include a buffet dinner, dessert, and beverages. Dinner this year…
