Take a step back in time and visit the pristine luxury of this lovely home built in 1892. Imagine standing in the shoes of the homeowner, the late Samuel Nelson–local entrepreneur and owner of the Farm & Merchants State Bank and the Nelson Brothers Grocery Store, both in downtown Lanesboro.
Consider what thoughts he might have shared with his lovely wife, Julia, as they peered out over the shady wrap-around veranda, perhaps contemplating the
future of Lanesboro during his term as mayor of the city, or perhaps concerns about the development of Minnesota as an early St. Paul statesman.
It was here that Samuel and his beloved wife raised their ten children–7 boys and 3 girls–and it was here that Julia died after 25 devoted years of marriage. The March 12, 1904 issue of the Lanesboro Local reported “...no lady was better beloved, more honored and respected than the late Mrs. Nelson...”
