Wanda Gag House

Reviewed By markbB3491DG - Saint Paul, United States

The Wanda Gag house is a great place to get the feel for early Minnesota. The Gag family is one of the key artistic families in Minnesota. The birthplace of "Millions of Cats" one of those iconic childhood books. The house is a well preserved and presented representation of life in the Minnesota River valley in the early 1900's. Call ahead to arrange a worthwhile visit. Hours are more limited off season.

Harkin Store

CLOSED for the season til May 2020. Savor the smells and sights of an 1870s general store as you sample the wares or try a game of checkers. When the railroad bypassed the small town of West Newton, the Harkin Store was forced to close with much of the unsold inventory still on the shelves, where it remains today.

We paid the $3 admission fee and spent the next 30-45 minutes on a guided tour by a woman who was dressed in 1860s era attire, extremely knowledgable, and an exceptional storyteller. My husband and I considered this a must-stop for those traveling to New Ulm. The tour provides an immense amount of knowledge about the town and its history in a truly unbiased approach. To those who wrote reviews by simply "peering in the windows" -- that is not a valid experience at this museum. It's $3. Pay the measly fee and learn about this exceptional historic site.
