Jerry Ganfield, member of the Steele County Historical Society, shares some of the museum's information about Carlo Zamboni, one of Owatonna's early entrepreneurs. The museum currently features a rifle he designed, as well as historical photos of the man and the downtown building he designed. Ganfield also says the museum owns a car once sold by Carlo Zamboni in 1919.
