Harkin Store, an 1870s general store, was once the social center of the community where townsfolk and farmers gathered to buy groceries, barter for supplies, and exchange news.

Your support makes all this possible. Please donate to MNHS to help share the places, artifacts, and stories that keep Minnesota’s history alive.
