WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE HOME This historically significant 1872 Victorian Italianate framed home was the first Parsonage built in the state of Minnesota. The house is mentioned in "The History of Wabasha County", has its own Wikipedia page and its photos are on file with the Library of Congress. Due to the construction of the new Mississippi River bridge in 1987, it was moved to its current location, an affluent semi-rural neighborhood across from the Coffee Mill Ski Hill, County Fairgrounds, and near the golf Course. It sits on nearly an acre with a landscaped garden, mature rose bushes and concrete benches. Much of the property is wooded, and features the largest cottonwood tree in the state (uncertified). This home is the former Cottonwood Inn Bed & Breakfast, and is cherished by locals.
