The story

The Charles A. Weyerhaeuser Memorial Museum is located in Little Falls, Minnesota, on the banks of the Mississippi River. Established in 1975, the museum is owned and operated by the Morrison County Historical Society. The building itself was designed in a Greek Revival style to reflect the architectural choices of the county's early settlers. The museum honors Charles A. Weyerhaeuser, a lumberman who played a significant role in the development of Little Falls. Weyerhaeuser arrived in the city in 1891 to manage the Pine Tree Lumber Company, which had been founded by his father and business partner's father.
