The Swift County Historical Society offers a variety of programs throughout the year. An annual program is the “Tribute to Our Veterans” program which is held at the museum on the Thursday evening nearest to Memorial Day.

Educational programs at the museum include the annual “School Week” for 3rd & 6th grade students of the county; Benson 2nd grade students & grandparents tour & program; History programs geared for adults.

The society also provides “Outreach Programs” such as the Historic Style Show given at the annual Harvest Fest in Appleton the first week end of August. The society has given “Outreach Programs” for organizations, rest homes and senior housing, churches, schools, etc.

The staff is open to giving a program on almost any historical topic as long as they have at least one month notice to allow time for research. People interested in an “Outreach Program” should contact the museum at (320) 843-4467 and ask for Marlys.
