Red Wing Collectors Society

The Red Wing Collectors Society is a special interest collecting organization in the United States with a membership of about 5000.

Lyndon Veil laid the cornerstone for a meeting of like-minded collectors to gather in Red Wing, MN in July 1977.

It was at that one-day event held at the Goodhue County Historical Society in July 1977 that the RWCS officially became an organization.

From its start the RWCS has been dedicated to keeping what its members refer to as the "Red Wing legacy" alive.

Its members focus on continually learning about the pottery products made in Red Wing, Minnesota and on making that information available to others.

Board meeting times and locations are published in the bimonthly newsletter and are open for any member to attend.

Many of them also hold smaller functions in conjunction with the two RWCS sponsored events, the July Convention and the MidWinter GetTogether, held in February.

Educational seminars, an auction, a show and sale, displays of pottery, and children's events are held.
