Love seeing old, re-used architecture! Great Museum that covers a LOT of ground, from the heritage of early settlers, native people, crafts & artisans, Red Wing Pottery, local industries, Schools, and even some natural history and paleontology! I lived learned about Hot Puffed Rice (The Only Food Fired From a Gun!)Gift shop also has some neat pieces, including postcards of reprinted old photographs. (Which I look for everywhere!)

I feel that this place has so much to offer for people to learn. The history of the area and how people thrived in the harsh winters without modem conveniences is something to behold.Be aware before going that their hours of operation need to be looked up before going.

With the amount of things that are in this, there isnt a whole lot to really captivate you and provide a Wow factor. I loved seeing it all, but events or tours by volunteers to provide insight would really liven the place up!
