Quick Summary
In their first contribution to MDL since 2005, the History Center of Freeborn County has shared a set of plat map books on Freeborn, Dakota, Mower, and Waseca counties.
The History Center of Freeborn County (HCFC) was one of the founding contributors to the Minnesota Digital Library (MDL) when it was created twenty years ago. In their first project with MDL since then, HCFC selected a set of fifteen plat map books from their collection for MDL to digitize and share on our website. These plat books provide rich details about land ownership in Freeborn County, such as the names of landowners, property lines, roads, towns, schools, and natural features. This set also includes plat books for Dakota County, Mower County, and Waseca County.
More digitization projects with the HCFC are currently underway. We are so happy that they have returned as an active contributing organization. Learn about HCFC and access their collection.
