The Charles A. Weyerhaeuser Memorial Museum is free. The Museum in Little Falls, Minnesota, was named to honor lumberman Charles A. Weyerhaeuser. Charles and his business partner, Richard “Drew” Musser, came to Little Falls at the behest of their fathers, Frederick Weyerhaeuser, and Peter Musser. They were charged with operating the Pine Tree Lumber Company, which was established in 1891.
$5 for kids 5-17, $8 for adults. On Saturday, 7/20 from 11:00 AM - 12:30pm. Take in the majestic grounds and enjoy the craftsmanship of these century-old homes set on the banks of the beautiful Mississippi River. In 1890 Charles Weyerhaeuser and Richard ‘Drew’ Musser came to Little Falls to run the Pine Tree Lumber Company. The homes, designed by Minnesota architect Clarence H. Johnston, were built simultaneously in 1898. Johnston was the same architect that designed many stately homes throughout Minnesota during the early 20th century including many homes along Summit Avenue in St. Paul and the Glensheen Mansion in Duluth.
In the mid-1840s settlers began to arrive. It was the "little falls" in the Mississippi River that attracted the attention of entrepreneurs, as it had the traders and explorers. On October 1, 1849, the Little Falls Mills and Land Company was formed and a dam was built, the first in a succession of four dams, each an improvement over its predecessor. The "little falls" became a source of power for a growing city. Construction of the 1887 dam brought the boom era. Little Falls was literally "turned on" with electricity for powering the industries that were arriving. The Pine Tree Lumber Company, operated by Charles Weyerhaeuser and R.D. Musser, and Hennepin Paper Company were recipients of the logs driven downriver from the northern pineries. Immigrants arrived in large numbers, establishing a diverse ethnic community. Today's visitors will not find the natural waterfall, but there is something both serene and exciting about watching the water pause at the gates of the dam.

Follow the gravel road at the Mill Park sign, you find the old paper mill site along the river. The Hennepin Paper Company was a paper mill established in 1890. Several ruins of the mill complex are included in the Mill Park. The canal head structure and the foundations of the paper mill are still intact The Hennepin Paper Company was powered by the mechanical power that was available on-site. The Hennepin Paper Mill expanded in 1898 becoming one of the largest paper mills in operation. It was the largest employer in Little Falls for over 100 years. The mill was famous for making a rough grade of construction paper. In fact, for many years, this mill was the sole source of the paper used on Crayola Crayons. That fact resulted in a visit by Fred Rogers, host of the children's TV show “Mr. Roger's Neighborhood”, who featured a tour of the mill on his show in the late 1980s.
Footpaths are lighted by globe lamps, reminiscent of the White Way that once lit the streets of Little Falls. A gazebo and park benches overlook the river.
