The Christie Home welcomes a "Mystery Tour" bus! We make a great mystery tour destination!
Chris Petron and Pat Gray, Christie Home Historical Society tour guides, are flanked by visitors from New York Mills.
Saturday, July 18, 2015 was a beautiful day for a tour - just ask any of our 47 visitors from New York Mills. Our group of visitors toured the Christie home and had nothing but praise for the Christie Home Historical Society's care of the house and its furnishings. Rarely is found an historical home with all the original owner's furniture, linens, dishes and decor. Drs. George and Robert Christie's medical library and office provided a trip back to a time when it was a commonplace medical practice. Self-guided tours of the Long Prairie Veteran's Memorial Park were met with many compliments to our community for such a remarkable tribute to our military men and women. Christie Home tours such as these are welcomed by appointment. Drop-in tours are offered Wednesday through Sunday 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM during June, July and August.
