Redwood County Poor Farm, Social welfare institution in Redwood Falls, Minnesota.
The Redwood County Poor Farm building holds 30 rooms filled with exhibits displaying farm tools, medical equipment, military items, and clothing from past centuries.
From 1884 to 1967, this county institution provided shelter and agricultural work opportunities for elderly and impoverished residents of the Redwood County area.

Visitors can explore the museum from May through September, Thursday to Sunday between noon and 4 PM, with adult admission at $5 and youth at $2.
The facility transformed from a working poor farm into the Redwood County Museum, preserving local history through exhibits of wildlife, Native American artifacts, and musical instruments.
