Warden's House Museum, House museum in Stillwater, United States

The Warden's House Museum is a two-story limestone building oriented broadside to the east, with a shallow pitched roof and low gables on the north and south ends. It shows an early Greek Revival style with Federal influences. Wood-frame additions were added to the rear in 1870, and the original full-width balcony was replaced in 1910 by a two-story porch, later reduced to a smaller balcony-topped porch.

The house was built in 1853 and served as home to 13 prison leaders until the facility relocated to Bayport in 1914. This move ended its use as an official residence for prison administration.

The rooms show how early settlers lived in the region and depict the importance of logging to the local community's growth. Visitors can see how this industry shaped daily life and influenced the way the town developed.

The museum sits on level ground with paved access and is easy to reach on foot. Plan for about 1 to 2 hours to walk through all the rooms at a comfortable pace.

The Younger Brothers, associates of the James–Younger Gang, are represented in the collection by personal items rather than prisoner-made crafts. The house is the only museum in Stillwater and the second-oldest house museum in Minnesota, opened by the Washington County Historical Society in 1941.
