Description:
MOORHEAD. One of the Fargo-Moorhead area's oldest homes, this cabin dates from 1870. Built by John Bergquist, a Swedish immigrant, the rustic home offers a fascinating glimpse at what life along the Red River was like prior to the introduction of electricity and running water. Each June, during the Hjemkomst Festival, the cabin is opened to visitors; otherwise, interested parties should call the Clay County Museum for information about touring the cabin. |

Description:
MOORHEAD. This late-19th-century Victorian home was built by Solomon Comstock, a pillar of the Moorhead community whose many accomplishments included founding the city's First National Bank, establishing Moorhead State University, and serving as state senator. His daughter, Ada, also led an accomplished life, holding administrative positions at the University of Minnesota and Radcliffe College. The home, maintained by the state historical society, looks much as it did when the Comstocks lived there. It is still decorated with original Queen Anne furnishings. |
