| Ames-Florida-Stork House |
The Ames-Florida-Stork House stands as an example of over 100 years of life in rural Minnesota. Arranged in a series of "period rooms," the house chronicles the lives of three of Rockford's most prominent families from 1862-1983.
The museum houses an extensive collection of 19th and early 20th century furnishings and textiles, many of which are original to the house. Included is a butternut bookcase and chaise lounge made for George Ames and an 1884 rosewood piano belonging to Clinton and Meda Stork. The house also boasts a vintage clothing collection of over 200 pieces, some dating back to the Civil War era. |
