Folsom House Historic Site is located in Taylors Falls, Minnesota and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The house was built in 1856 by the Folsom family, and is a two-story Greek Revival house. It is the only remaining example of a Greek Revival house in the St Croix Valley.

The house was built by John Folsom and his wife, Sarah, and is an example of a typical mid-19th century home. It was originally constructed around an open center hall plan, with a two-story portico and a wrap-around porch. The house was originally heated by a wood-burning stove, and the kitchen contained a hand-pumped water supply.

In 1973, the house was purchased by the Chisago County Historical Society and was restored to its original condition. The interior of the house is decorated with period furniture and artifacts from the Folsom family. The house also contains a number of exhibits about the history of the St Croix Valley and the Folsom family.

Today, the house is open to the public from May through October, and visitors can tour the house and grounds. The house is also available for special events such as weddings, parties, and other gatherings. The Folsom House Historic Site is a wonderful example of 19th century architecture and is a great way to learn about the history of the St Croix Valley.
