Harkin's General Store

Harkin's General Store is a historic abandoned town in Nicollet County, Minnesota. The hotel opened in 1867 as a general store and local post office combined. It was forced to shut shop in 1901 due to a mass exodus and subsequent abandoning of the town. The majority of the stocks were left untouched when the store closed and remains in the same state as part of the museum's exhibits. The museum housed in the store is managed by the Nicollet County Historical Society in coordination with the Minnesota Historical Society.
