Periodically, the Eagan Historical Society also hosts author talks, leads historic tours, and provides other events related to Eagan History. More information will be posted as events are planned.
Historical Documents
The City of Eagan maintains a repository of historical documents and assets that can be accessed by the public. Trained volunteers with the Eagan Historical Society assist with digitizing and archiving photos, newspaper clippings, and documents so that they can be preserved and referenced in the future. Items are continuously added to the repository, so be sure to check back often. To explore historical documents, click the button below.
