Minnesota Historical Society keeps this historic site open. This is the site of a store and house from the mid 1800's that was one of the first general stores and post offices in the area. In the early 1900's the train came to New Ulm and crushed the town this was a part of. I don't know if they will ever have the store open again for tours, but it is apparently stocked like it would have been in the 1800's, would be fun to see some day!
