    The John H. Stevens House Museum in Minneapolis offers visitors a glimpse into 19th-century life in Minnesota. This historic home, once belonging to the city's first authorized resident, has been relocated to Minnehaha Park. The museum provides a modest but informative experience, showcasing period furnishings and exhibits about early Minneapolis history.

The staff, often volunteers, are generally knowledgeable and friendly, enhancing the visit for those interested in local history. While not a major attraction, it serves as an educational stop for history enthusiasts and families looking to understand the city's roots.
