Custom tour for adults or school groups: Swedish history narrative told in an entertaining manner. Our Washington County Historical Society Guide played a song for us on the original organ that is on the stage. Tour includes Johannes Erickson Log Home built 1868.
It’s a cute place not much to do but it was cool seeing the old school house . The tour guide was awesome he knew a lot of interesting stuff.
Both the school and home are seasonal buildings in which people can get a glimpse into the past. The school is a one-room school house that has a variety of school-related items, desks, and newspaper clippings about the history of the area. It is definitely worth a visit!
The log home is equally as fascinating with each room containing many antiques from the late-1800s and early-1900s. It gives a good appreciation for the challenges that the early-settlers in the area would have encountered as well as how resourceful they were in order to survive the challenging Minnesota winters.
Nice local historical sight.
Would recommend.
