Do you love learning about the past and exploring museums and historical sites? If so, you’re in for a treat when you visit the Carver County Historical Society and its website. The Carver County Historical Society and Creature Works won the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Dot.Org Award.

Creature Works designed and developed the website, showcasing the features that the Historical Society’s members wanted to highlight. As a result, the site is not only informative but also engaging to explore.

One of the standout features of the site is the extensive database-driven newspaper search function. This is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in local history or genealogy. You can search for articles and stories from the past and get a glimpse of what life was like in Carver County during different periods.

Another cool feature is the custom integration of old plat maps with Google maps. This allows you to compare old maps from the past with modern-day satellite images and see how the landscape has changed over time. It’s a great way to understand the evolution of the county and its communities.

The site’s color scheme is based on the Historical Society’s permanent exhibits, giving it a cohesive and visually appealing look. And the layout uses a masonry structure that works responsively across all device sizes. This means you can enjoy the site on your desktop, tablet, or mobile phone, and it will adapt to your screen size for optimal viewing.

Overall, the Carver County Historical Society’s website is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in local history. Whether you’re a researcher, a student, or a curious visitor, there’s something for everyone. Be sure to check it out!
