The present Mankato Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society (formerly the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of BarberShop Quartet Singing in America) is the result of an effort by the Jefferson Lords Quartet (Barry Clapper, Norm Erickson, Bruce Gray, and Jerry Kirby) along with Dick Van Krevelen and others to create a chapter in January 1973. Chapter Charter awarded March 1974. A previous Barbershop Chorus chapter existed in Mankato from about 1949 to 1954.
