Built in 1871, the Hormel Historic Home's mission is honoring and preserving the home and family legacy
of George A. & Lillian Hormel by celebrating, inspiring, and enriching the lives of everyone in our community.
In the past, in the present, and into the future, the organization focuses on areas of Hospitality, Music, Education, and Community Service through meaningful programming and outreach. A capital campaign raised funds to help add the Carriage Hall Event Center as a way to expand programming opportunities, add exhibit space, and assist with sustaining the organization with an updated, larger venue rental and fundraiser space. Five years after the fundraising campaign, it was discovered that George A. Hormel planned a nearly identical expansion when he and Lillian donated their home to the YWCA (Young Women's Christian Association) in 1927, so the YWCA could expand programming and sustain itself with an updated, larger venue rental and fundraiser space.
Not only does the organization preserve the Hormel Family history and legacy, with ongoing preservation of the mansion, but it helps to ensure the family's dream to keep their home a sustainable non-profit organization with space for mission-based programming opportunities as a resource for the community.
Join the efforts of the organization to help continue preserving and sharing the Hormel Historic Home. Become a member, volunteer, attend a fundraiser, donate objects or archival materials related to the Hormel Family or YWCA history, host an event, host a Lillian's Table Culinary Experience or Little Lillian Tea Party, make a donation, purchase an item from the gift shop (onsite or online), join our team, or take the tour.
Your support will help the organization ensure the legacy of this historic landmark for generations to come.
