In August 2015, The Charles A. Weyerhaeuser Memorial Museum in Little Falls is celebrating its 40th anniversary.

The Weyerhaeuser Museum serves as the second home of the Morrison County Historical Society. The Society was founded in 1936 and made its first home in the Historic Morrison County Courthouse then due to space limitations moved to the current building in 1975.
