About Finn Creek Museum

Finn Creek Open Air Museum spans 18 acres and is dedicated to keeping alive Finnish culture and the stories of people who settled in the area in the early twentieth century. Visitors can see a 1900 original farmstead, a smoke sauna, log barns, and a sawmill, and the site has its own gift shop. The museum runs an annual festival in late August with entertainment, demonstrations, and food. It is a volunteer-run nonprofit that depends on donations.
