w.w. mayo house印象

The glass recycled x-ray plates that make up the green house. Coodows to them. The hidden dishes stored in the walls of the mansion.

With the local elevator and MN River providing a backdrop for the Mayo House, it could (and I think is) easily be overlooked. Families of two very Minnesotan icons lived here. W W Mayo built the house, father of William and Charles who all later founded the Mayo Clinic and then generations of the Cosgroves, who founded Green Giant. (Yes, there really is a valley of the Jolly Green Giant.) The Mayo House provides a look at how a more modest family of the 1860s lived, which after Glensheen and the Hill House provides a different perspective. Being a doctor wasn't as lucrative as it seems today, he was also at one point in time ran a ferry across the river, was a census taker, and had other professions, (but never of farmer). In his office/lab/exam room, you can see tools of the trade and greatly appreciated the advances in medicine since then (as well as appreciate the benefits of indoor plumbing). Mostly a self-guided tour and go at your own pace, there is someone available for questions and a video to explain the early Mayo Family history.

Who knew that the Mayo Clinic started in the same town as the Jolly Green Giant? Very historical.
