Warden's House Museum

About

The Warden's House is a 14-room house constructed for the Wardens of the Minnesota Territorial Prison in 1853. Today, the museum houses artifacts from the lumbering industry, early Washington County pioneers, and of course, the Old Stillwater Territorial/State Prison including items made and used by the infamous Younger Brothers of the Frank and Jesse James Gang.

Stillwater's only museum, the Warden's House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and opened as a house museum in 1941.
