Samuel B. Strait moved his family from Indiana to Minnesota in 1856 in pursuit of his dream to establish a new town named St. Lawrence on the banks of the Minnesota River. He built this home in 1857 just before Minnesota became a state. At one time there was a hotel, a schoolhouse, a post office, and a sawmill. Now, all that remains is the home of the town's founder.
