This is a ten-acre living record of farm life in Minnesota during the years of 1890 to 1910. The farm recreates the physical surroundings in which the Eidem family lived their daily lives. Interpreters at the homestead carry out the tasks of farming and related household activities using the tools and techniques of the late 1800’s. The farm consists of a number of buildings (farmhouse, barn, outhouse, outbuildings, chicken coop and windmill, period farm equipment and crop land). The barn and barnyard have horses, cows, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, geese and cats. The purpose of this restored farmstead is to preserve and portray 19th century farm life through guided tours, displays, pioneer craft demonstrations and hands-on activities. Every visit encourages a hands-on approach whether it be woodcutting, cracking corn or sampling baked goods. Adults: $3 Children 16 and under are $2.50. Call for special events.
