ACHS operates bed and breakfast at historic Ticknor house

Listen to us on the Anoka Podcast!
This week we sit down with Anoka County Historical Society's executive director Rebecca Ebnet-Desens to learn about their move from their former site to their new site, Ticknor Hill.
Rebecca was kind enough to give The Anoka Podcast a tour of Ticknor Hill "Ticks" before we recorded, and we immediately understood their vision and desire to have this space!
