What People Are Saying About Ramsey House Mn Historical
Featured Review

In Short – The Ramsey House is one of the most detailed and intimate historical sites in the Twin Cities. The only owners were the Ramsey family, and so the history stayed in the house. More than 90 percent of the furnishings are original--rare for historical sites. There are also marble fireplaces and carved walnut woodwork. Now, costumed interpreters play out vignettes about the life and times of this former land speculator and Minnesota's first territorial governor.
Editor's Tips
- When to Go:
- Most visitors come for cookies and cider during the open house in late November and December.

Past Comes Alive

Visiting the Ramsey House is fun. I especially like that the guides are in costume, and that there is so many peices of the Ramsey's actual stuff in the house. I especially enjoyed the Christmas programn. The only problem is that because of Historical Society budget cuts, they are open only on Fridays and Saturdays now, it's sad.
- Pros: inexpensive, good location, free parking
- Cons: needs to be open more
