🎉 New in 2026 – we’re offering two days of Bake Sale for those who can’t make it in on Friday!
🍪 Our annual DCHS Bake Sale – with its roots stretching back 40 years ago to the saving of the Knute Nelson House – is back for 2026!
👩🏽‍🍳 If you would like to donate treats to the Bake Sale, please call ahead and let us know what you’ll be bringing. The DCHS phone number is 320-762-0382.
📅 The DCHS Bake Sale will be the First Friday and Saturday of December: Dec. 4-5, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. each day.
📍 The Bake Sale will be on the MAIN LEVEL of the Knute Nelson House – NOT the basement – so we will be better accessible for our guests. All guests should enter through the FRONT DOOR on the WEST SIDE (Nokomis Street) of the building.
📚 Copies of our Holiday & Hotdish Cookbooks will also be available at the Bake Sale for $10 each, as well as our local historic photo calendars, for $18.
🔎 If you have any questions, please contact us right away at DCHS!
