Olof Swensson Farm Museum

MONTEVIDEO. This farm offers ample evidence of the contributions made by Minnesota's Scandinavian immigrants. Olof Swensson, a Norwegian native, came to America in 1872 with his bride and became well-known for his building expertise and his political and religious convictions. On the farm is his 22-room brick house with granite foundation (complete with original furnishings), a timber-framed barn and a grist mill. Visitors can also view early tractors, farm equipment, and the family's burial plot, whose concrete tombstones were crafted by Swensson.
