 GROUP  TOUR

The Gibbs Museum offers visitors a trip back in time. Costumed interpreters tell the Gibbs Family story from Jane (DeBow) Gibbs early childhood among the Dakotah Indians to the market garden farm of 1900.

We offer two separate tours.  The local Dakotah culture will be the focus of one tour. The other tour will concentrate on the pioneer experience. Groups can also ask for tours with a special emphasis. For example a garden club may enjoy a landscape tour or a preschool group may want more time to visit the farm's animals.

To make reservations or for more information, call (651) 646-8629 or email ted4@rchs.com.

The Gibbs Museum includes:

  • Original Farmhouse

  • Schoolhouse

  • The White Barn, home to the Farm animals

  • The Red Barn

  • The Archaeological Site of the Gibbs’ original dugout, 1849
