The Chaska Historical Society has housed the Chaska Herald newspapers dating back to 1862, since the physical copies of the papers were transferred to our care in March of 1981. From their verbiage, word choices, articles and advertisements, they provide a view into the history of Chaska that is otherwise unmatched. The consistent presence of this publication in our community for over 160 years provides fodder for time lines, comparisons, societal reflection, and often humor. For your enjoyment, we present to you, from the archives of the Chaska Herald newspapers, the Herald Reports – now known as Chaska’s History Speaks!
