About the Stearns History Museum

The Stearns County Historical Society (d.b.a.) Stearns History Museum is a place to learn, discover and discuss history. The Museum is connected to our community through public programs, publications and professional association.  We are stewards of stories and protectors of the artifacts and archives that tell those stories. We engage audiences of all ages and welcome all to visit, learn, and explore.

Our museum galleries and research center are open 6 days per week.  We operate year round.  Programs are offered throughout the community according to school-year, festival and public program schedules.  The Museum presents exhibits, programs and activities that educate, entertain, and inspire participants. The Stearns History Museum is the anchor of the City of St. Cloud’s Heritage Park, a 80-acre nature park with walking trails, abundant wildlife, and a skateboard park.  There truly is something for everyone.

Primary Responsibilities:  The Curator of Programs is a key member of the museum’s leadership team, responsible for the creative development and comprehensive implementation of the museum’s programs and public events.  The Museum’s programs are delivered at the museum and throughout the Stearns County Community.  The Curator of Programs is the leader of the public program team which includes staff and volunteers. The Curator of Programs should be self-motivated, enthusiastic about working with diverse audiences, and able to handle multiple projects at once. The Program Curator will work closely with the Exhibits/Collections Curator and the Archivist to ensure the delivery of high quality, engaging and innovative history programs that are grounded in historical research.
