WE NEED VOLUNTEERS, PLEASE HELP US OUT!
Our historic buildings are more than just old wood and stone—they are the soul of our pioneer community, and right now, they are at risk. We are looking for dedicated volunteers to help us protect and preserve these irreplaceable landmarks before time and weather take their toll.
We need more than just casual help; we need people who understand that if we don’t maintain these structures now, we lose them forever. Whether you are a retired tradesperson or a skilled DIYer, your hands-on work will directly ensure that our history remains standing. If you have a couple of hours a week or more that would be well spent time to help maintain our buildings.

The Mission:
• Urgent Repairs: Tackling projects & upkeep, roofing, and siding & signs.
• Restoration Work: Using your skills to maintain the integrity of 19th-century craftsmanship.
• Legacy Building: Ensuring these doors stay open to hundreds of students that come to tour every May and September of every year and grandchildren.
This isn’t just "maintenance"—it’s a rescue mission for our heritage. If you have the tools and the grit to help us save these buildings, we need you on site.

Roofing, siding, projects that just need attention. Our gift shop is currently needing help & our Blacksmith shop that was constructed in 2023 this project is still in limbo? Please call the office at 320-274-8489 or email Julie at [email protected]. Thank you so much!!

Below is just one of our buildings at the Park. This is the Sorenson Cabin. There are 24 of these buildings. The upkeep on these buildings is non stop.
