Larson's Hunters Resort

This is a historic former hunting resort in Lake Valley Township, MN. It operated from the 1890s to the 1960s and became the best known hunting resort in Traverse County, while also being maintained as an active farm. It was listed on the NRHP in 1985 for having local significance in the themes of architecture and commerce. As a historic district, it consists of a prominent brick farmhouse/lodge built in 1901 and 8 outbuildings. It was nominated for exemplifying the important hunting industry in west-central MN and the phenomenon of farmer/resort owners, while the main building was noted as the largest and most intact farmhouse in the county, and one of the few constructed of brick.
