Gibbs Farm Museum

Today visitors can tour the Gibbs family farm house.  The Dakota style tipi and replica bark lodge allow visitors to explore the traditional lifeways of the Dakota.  Visitors can observe a native prairie, a Dakota medicine garden, and traditional Dakota and pioneer crop gardens.

Visitors also will find the original white barn built by the Gibbs family in 1910 and the red barn, designed by prominent architect Edwin Lundie.  The Stoen School, built in the 1880s, was moved from Chippewa County, Minnesota in 1966.  The schoolhouse is furnished with wooden school desks, slate boards, McGuffey's Readers, a pump organ, and a working school bell.

The Twin Cities Daily Planet, a project of the Twin Cities Media Alliance, is a community newswire and syndication service showcasing the best work of the neighborhood and community press, as well as work by independent journalists and the voices of engaged citizens.

The Twin Cities Daily Planet is conceived as an experiment in participatory journalism, built on a partnership between professional journalists and individual citizens. Collectively, the residents of the Twin Cities have far more expertise and insight than can be found in any one newsroom. The premise of the TC Daily Planet is that new technologies are making it possible for these citizens to become more active and powerful participants in the news production process. One goal of the Daily Planet is to harness that community intelligence and enable individuals to share information and work together for the common good.
