Year-Round

The Universal Laboratories building is on the National Register of historic places and is the home of the Dassel Area Historical Society. From 1937 to the mid-1970's, Universal Laboratories played an important role in the processing of ergot for use by drug manufacturers.

Today the museum tells the story of ergot and includes several other permanent & changing exhibits. It also serves as the local history center, providing valuable resources for genealogical research.
