Scott County at Play: Toys, Games, and Exploration, 1850-2000

We're taking a child's eye view to Scott County history! Explore how the lives of children have transformed since 1850 through the stories of how they played. Try out some of these toys yourselves! At SCHS, batteries are included.

People And Places

We love photos because they allow us to preserve moments in time. This gallery showcases snapshots from throughout Scott County's history, from studio portraits and weddings to candids and holiday cards, reminding us that even though Scott County's fashions, neighborhoods, and landscapes have changed over the years, the bonds of community have not.

THE SCHS RECEIVES GRANT FROM THE SMSC!

We are delighted to announce the SCHS is the recipient of a Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC), grant to support a SCHS technology upgrade. The funds will be used for new computer equipment and microfilm readers, microfilming an 8-yr backlog of Scott County newspapers, and the purchase of a frost-free freezer for special collection storage. This grant supports our efforts to preserve and make history accessible, and we are extremely grateful to the SMSC for their financial support.
