The 50's house was so awesome. The gas station great. And I lived that we could enter the rooms of the homes and school. No ropes! Engaging place and beautifully landscaped. So glad this place exists.

They have a main building that's full of a slew of Grand Forks county area history, including a lot of the flood stuff. They have a timeline of the Pulitzer-winning news coverage of the flood by the Grand Forks Herald. Then they have a log cabin that the original owners retrofitted into a house in the early 1900s. They have a carriage garage with a working Model A as well as a slew of other wagons and some unique modes of transportation (children's sleigh to be towed behind a car, grain hoppers, etc.). They have a frontier-era log-cabin style post office/communications building. A period gas station. The best part is...they have a mail-order build-it-yourself steel home that was sold in the post WWII-era to deal with a housing shortage, filled with period stuff, including a flip-top microwave. You'd order the parts, they'd come in boxes on trucks, and you'd weld it all together. People were living in it until the 1997 flood, as a testament to its durability and safety. $5 to get in to the while thing, kid friendly, group friendly and the tour guide is nice and very knowledgeable. They're only open from 1 to 5 p.m., but no tours after 4 p.m. So, plan to get there in time. The grounds are also used for concerts and weddings and such.

The staff was around and very helpful. Just be prepared with some quarters to pay the parking meter. I wish I had arrived before the cafe closed, it smelled wonderful.

On Saturday they are only open 1 hour, which leaves a very small window to get large packages unable to fit in a post office box, especially if you work during the week. It is located right on Main street across from the Plummer Museum. Parking is never an issue as it is located on the corner and vehicles can park in front or on the side of the building. If a package is small enough to fit in one of their larger unreserved post office boxes, they put a key in your post office box for the other box your package is located. This helps with any packages you may get during the week and are unable to stop in from 8am-noon. I haven't had an issue with this post office but they should be open longer on Saturdays or earlier during the week for people who work standard 8-5 jobs during the week.
