Folsom House, Greek Revival residence in Taylors Falls, United States.
The Folsom House displays Federal and Greek Revival architectural elements with its original five bedrooms and a rectangular grand piano inside.
William Henry Carmen Folsom, a lumber merchant and land investor, constructed this two-story frame residence in 1854 during the early development of Minnesota.
The residence contains authentic Folsom family belongings, including W.H.C. Folsom's personal library, reflecting mid-19th century Minnesota living standards.
The Minnesota Historical Society maintains this house museum at 272 West Government Street, offering guided tours for groups of up to 45 people.
While building the main house, the Folsom family lived in an open barn on the property, and the current garage incorporates timbers from that original structure.
