SAUK RAPIDS (WJON News) -- The Benton County Historical Society and Museum has hired a new executive director. Thankfully, we have a great staff of volunteers who have been here showing me where to find things and telling me things about Benton County. She worked at the Charles Lindbergh House and Museum in Little Falls as a Programs Curator before the Minnesota Historical Society closed that museum. He's very passionate about Benton County history. They have a writing series going on right now where attendees are writing historical fiction about real people who lived in Benton County.
