The Stearns history museum has opened a pair of two exhibits; 33rd & Cooper, From Pan to Electrolux: 50 Acres of Opportunity,  and Rising to the Crisis: A County Responds to a World in Turmoil.  

The 33rd & Cooper exhibit features a 100-plus year history of the property which includes the Pan Motor Company, Char-Gale, Electrolux and other manufacturing plants.  You can see the last freezer off the Electrolux line, learn about the Hilger Company and check out one of the few remaining Pan Cars in the country.
