Among the regular features have been columns entitled "A View from the Point," an essay of observations on and near Hanson's Point, along the western shore of Freeborn Lake, and "From the Mayor's Desk," a chronicle of City Council matters of local interest. The Frisbee is produced and edited by Bonnie Schuster, a longtime local resident and historian.

===Freeborn Area Heritage Society===
The Freeborn Area Heritage Society is a local organization devoted to preserving and celebrating Freeborn's history. The Society maintains the picturesque District 15 School, a one-room schoolhouse, originally constructed in 1858 on a site 3 miles south of town. It was relocated to a city park in November, 2006, and rededicated on June 14, 2007, during the Freeborn Area Sesquicentennial. Restored by the Society, the building is filled with classroom items and historic exhibits, reflecting the years between 1858 and 1937, during which the school was in operation.

Immediately adjacent to the school, a newly-constructed Museum building contains a large and varied assortment of community and local artifacts, displayed around the Museum's two prized centerpieces: the Freeborn Fire Department's vintage 1946 fire truck, and a carefully-restored 1928 Model T Ford, purchased new from a Freeborn automobile dealer that year. The Model T, which remained in the family of the original owner for over 80 years, was generously donated to the community, and, along with the fire truck, remains on permanent display at the Museum.

The Museum also features records, yearbooks, and regalia from the former Freeborn High School, which closed in 1987, as well as the FHS athletic teams, the Freeborn Yeomen. This nickname was unique to Freeborn; no other high school in America is known to have had the Yeomen mascot; the school's colors were orange and black. There are also trophies from FHS's many successful athletic teams, competing in the Border League and Southern Minny Conferences, as well as voluminous records from their years in those athletic conferences.
