Hormel Historic Home
The Hormel Historic Home was the treasured home of George A. and Lillian Hormel, now restored to early 1900's splendor and open for tours and rentals.
Under the guidance of the state of Minnesota, the Hormel Historic Home is open for tours and private rentals. We have implemented a preparedness plan and will follow guidelines to keep visitors and staff safe.

Built in 1871 The Hormel Historic Home strives to preserve the Home and History of the George A. and Lillian Hormel Family.
We are now a community resource with a mission to maintain the home and to honor the family legacy of Hospitality, Music, Education, and community service through meaningful programming and outreach.
In 2010, the Hormel Historic Home had a vision to create Autism Programming to serve youth on the spectrum and their families. That initiative, now called Autism Friendly Austin, is making our community more inclusive and understanding of autism spectrum disorder.
