Denmark Township Historical Society Mission Statement
"To preserve the history, stories, and traditions of Denmark Township and its people, so that the values and achievements of past generations will inspire and guide those of the future."
The Historical Society is moving forward with plans to purchase the Valley School, District #34, located in the southern section of Denmark Township. This one-room school house is among the earliest schools organized in Minnesota. Our January 17 meeting will focus on the history of the school and the surrounding area of Point Douglas, one of the original settlements within the township. We will also be discussing our plans to purchase and renovate the school house and possible uses of this valuable historical resource. This meeting will be held at the Denmark Town Hall, 90th Street So. and Oakgreen Ave., at 7 pm, Tuesday, January 17. If you are interested in the history of education, 19th century Minnesota, and Denmark Township, we invite you to join us. We especially encourage anyone with ideas or information about this project to attend. And if you can help us with this major endeavor, we REALLY would like to see you! But if you can't make the meeting, we'd also love to HEAR from you. Call Jean and Wayne Boyd at 651.436.8031.
