Description:

The Andrew J. Volstead house was built in 1878.  When Volstead purhcased it in 1894, he added the front tower. The House was Volstead's home from 1894 to 1930.  It was privately owned until 1974 when it was put on the national register and named a National Landmark.. It was made into a museum by the Minnesota Association of co-operatives and given to the city of Granite Falls in 1979.  This year was  the 30 year anniversary of that dedication and it was commemorated at an open house and ceremony on June 28, 2009.
