What is the difference between the Heritage Preservation Board and the Edina Historical Society?
As the City of Edinas official heritage conservation agency, the Heritage Preservation Board is responsible for implementing the Edina Heritage Landmarks program. The members of the Board are Edina residents appointed by the mayor and city council. The Edina Historical Society is a private, non-profit organization which operates a museum and provides various other educational services. In accordance with state statute, a representative of the Historical Society serves on the Heritage Preservation Board. While the Historical Society receives part of its funding from the City of Edina, it is an independent community organization and not an organ of municipal government.
