The mission of the St. Cloud Heritage Museum is to preserve historic records and artifacts of organizations and individuals involved in the history of St. Cloud and to honor their contributions by displaying that information in the museum for access by the public.
But long before the city attracted sightseers, it was a booming sugar exporter and a haven for retired Civil War veterans. The town, named for a Paris suburb, was incorporated in 1911 as a "soldier's colony" and was touted for its "health, climate, and productiveness of the soil."
Today, the St. Cloud celebrates its diverse population, ideal location, and agricultural history. Plan a visit to the museum to learn more about the town's rich history. (Text from Images of St. Cloud, by Jim Robison and Robert A. Fisk)
