The Anoka County Historical Society is making a bold and creative move to secure its future, purchasing a stunning 160-year-old mansion to serve as both a bed and breakfast and a museum. Minnesota Live photojournalist Bill Middeke visited the historic Ticknor Hill Bed and Breakfast to explore this one-of-a-kind destination, where overnight stays begin in September with rooms ranging from $205 to $225 per night.

The Anoka County Historical Society commemorated the grand opening of the Ticknor Hill Bed and Breakfast on September 10, 2026 with the Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce
