Afton Historical Museum will reopen on Wednesday, July 7.

We are very excited to announce that after a year of being closed due to COVID the museum is reopening. Our artifacts have been safety tucked away during this period in our new environmentally controlled storage room resting for our next exhibit. We encourage all of you that are interested in volunteering at the museum to contact Vickie Winge, our museum manager at vickie@aftonhistoricalmuseum.com or Stan Ross, museum president at stan@aftonhistoricalmuseum.com.
We will be using opening guidelines from the Minnesota Historical Society (MnHS) which are: “MNHS supports any staff or visitor’s decision to continue wearing a face covering if they so choose. MNHS strongly recommends that individuals follow the MDH guidance.”
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) strongly recommend that anyone who is not fully vaccinated continue to wear face coverings indoors in businesses, public settings, and when around people from other households, as well as outdoors when social distancing cannot be maintained.” Stan Ross, president
