It really is worth the time to stop in, enjoy a meal, and take in the tour. Jay Johnson, who was the last owner of the property before it was donated to non-profit company that owns it now, was our tour guide. He does a very good job of it. He covers a lot of history through the history of his family that lived in the house beginning in 1882. The house was built, and expanded by his family, who used it both as a residence, and as a hotel. When Johnson inherited the property as the last, surviving member of the family, he inherited a jumbled mess of boxes stored for many years with items dating back beyond the Civil War. The really interesting part of it all is that he has all the provenance - the pictures, the letters home, and the legal documents - to go with the story. And, there's something for everyone to see there including toys, clothes, furniture, family paintings, antique and obscure pieces of dining implements, and a complete room devoted just to the Civil War. The house/museum is so complete, and so interesting, it has been licensed by local schools as part of their education program, and students are brought here to learn not only about the history of the town and family, but of the country as well. For $8.00, the price can't be beat. Children under the age of five are admitted free with a parent, and students are only $5.00. Of course, they take donations on top of the admission price, and we were so impressed, we left $50.00. It was that good!

First of all the Prospect House is the name of the Hotel that used to be run out of this house…read more One of the owners was a Civil war soldier that took some bullets and traveled around defeating the confederate soldiers. He was good at documenting things and writing letter so the history is well preserved. This is a great grandson telling the stories of the first house in town, they were first for a lot of things, electricity, phone etc. I thought the way that it was organized into different person's items or time frames of history. The basement is the Civil war area with some fascinating things to see. The tour is only $8 and they last about an hour and a half. There are structured times for the tours. Check out my photos. Of course, times may change. The older i get, the more I appreciate the history and the people that made this country great. I enjoyed the tour, the many items and Jay's weird sense of humor. It was a fun lesson and trip back in time. Jay's family didn't get rid of anything. Maybe someone needs to tell American Pickers. He has a LOT of stuff not even on display, just in storage. Lots of history for sure. Very fascinating.

It's not usually very busy, unless there is a big movie opening. There's not much going on in the surrounding mall, but who doesn't love a movie date? I recently went here with my family and young niece to see Despicable Me 2 and we had a wonderful time. The theatre was very clean and we had a comfortable time. My niece left her purse in the theatre and we quickly found it with no trouble getting back in. Such is a perk of a town like FF. I have fond memories of hanging out here in middle school and high school and hope it's still used for that. :] Support this movie theatre, Fergus Falls-ians!

The variety of exhibits, assistance, opportunities is unmatched.

It's not the art that disappointed me but the lack of enthusiasm the staff had to visitors. I received a cold welcome, and when I approach this millennial that clearly thinks art is by design of his own hair, and attitude is when I finally realized that perhaps the Red Door is not on its way up in the regional art community but has given up . He is clearly not an art curator, but a curator of himself. The Red Door Art Gallery is a beautiful idea, but just doesn't have the substance to keep it afloat. Also, it must a misprint or joke that you call yourself a museum as well as visitor center. Oh my gosh what an identity crisis!!! You need some help!
