Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, August 3, 2026 —
The Anoka County Historical Society has acquired the 160-year-old Ticknor Hill Bed and Breakfast, a historic mansion located in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The acquisition marks a significant step in preserving local history and repurposing a landmark property.
The Ticknor Hill Bed and Breakfast, which has stood for 160 years, will undergo a transformation to serve a dual purpose. It is slated to open as a museum in early next year, offering the public an opportunity to explore its historical architecture and exhibits. Additionally, the property will continue to operate as a bed and breakfast, with overnight stays scheduled to commence in September.
Currently, interested visitors can experience the historic home through tours. These tours are available by reservation only. Further details regarding the museum’s opening and the bed and breakfast operations are expected to be released as the transition progresses.
