Entrance to the site is through the current 1900 era farmstead located 1.5 miles north of Walnut Grove on Redwood County Highway 5.

Admission to the site is $3.00 per car or $15.00 per tour bus, which is deposited at the site on the honor system. You will find signs to the parking lot, as well as a picnic area, so bring a sack lunch with you.
