The Gustaf Anderson Historiska Hus Museet
One of the crown jewels of Lindstrom, MN is this house that was built in 1879 by Gustaf and Helena Anderson upon their return to Minnesota from the Montana gold fields. Several generations of the Anderson family have lived in the house prior to its conversion to non-residential use in 1971.
The home is distinctive among those in the Chisago Lakes area for its Italianate brick exterior and Victorian high style interior. Listed on the National Register of Historic Sites, it is located on Main Street (Hwy 8) within walking distance of the quaint and unique shops in downtown Lindstrom.
The building stands as a tribute to the "rags to riches" status achieved by the hard work of early immigrants and it continues to tell their stories.
Group tours and social gatherings can be scheduled by appointment. Admission is $3/person. All proceeds benefit County Historical Society's educational programs.
To schedule a tour or make other inquiries, please call 651-257-5310 or email the office.
Come spend the day in Lindstrom and visit our historic house museum!
