About
The Jasper Museum is a local history museum in Jasper, Minnesota, United States. The museum is located in the John M. Poorbaugh Block, a building listed on National Register of Historic Places on January 12, 2024. The first floor was originally constructed for The Quarry Store, serving as a general merchandise business in 1889. Subsequently, the second floor was used by a local family, and later repurposed as office space. From 1917 to 1972, the building functioned as the headquarters for the local newspaper, the Jasper Journal. In 1980, the Jasper Area Historical Society (JAHS) acquired the property, establishing the museum on-site in 1981. The museum is owned and operated by the Jasper Area Historical Society.
