The Oliver Kelley Farm and the Minnesota Historical Society invite you to share a part of Minnesota's agricultural past and tour this National Historic Landmark. You'll see a part of farming the way it was 150 years ago and may share in the work and life of early Minnesota farm families.

To fully experience the farm, come to Elk River and help put up hay, churn butter, dig potatoes and farm the way Oliver Kelley and his family did in the Civil War era. Smell fresh bread baking in the wood stove, feel the ox-drawn plow turn over the soil or hear the creak of leather and the jingle of the harness on the draft horses as they pull a wagon through the fields.

Learn about Minnesota's agricultural past and Oliver Kelley's Grange, from the costumed living history guides working the farm. Experience the past-today at the Oliver Kelley Farm.
