The mission of the Camden Community Historical Society is to research, preserve, and foster an interest in the history of the Camden neighborhood of North Minneapolis.

Our members have diverse interests within the scope of Camden history; current areas of research include Minneapolis Public Schools, the Mississippi Courts, Camden's lumber milling history, and the histories of Shingle Creek and the Mississippi River as they pass through Camden.

Our activites of late have included a great deal of research at the Minnesota Historical Society, Hennepin County Historical Society, Minneapolis Public Library, and some work with the Minneapolis Public Schools. We are also in the process of putting together some historical walking tours of Camden. Our members have contributed a series of articles to the Camden Community News, and will be writing more in the coming months.

We're always looking for new members. If you have an interest in the history of Camden, get in touch with us! Just go to our "Contact Us!" page, or stop in at a meeting- out meeting schedule is always posted on our "Upcoming Events" page.
