This modest house in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, was home to Judy Garland for her first four years. The 1920's home has been restored to look and feel as it did when the Gumm Family lived there many years ago. Come see where "Baby Gumm" got her start. We also have a Children's museum with many hands on activities for kids that will get their imaginations going.If you are a teacher, visit our website today to plan a field trip!

Judy Garland and her films have been a huge part of my life, and I drove all the way from Missouri to see her birth place and I'm so glad I did. Truly a dream come true.

Love this place since my father-in-law went to school here. Now a series of quaint stores in a very attractive historical building. Worth the stop

I had an appointment to meet with a staff member to research family genealogy. They were friendly and showed a genuine interest in helping me trace my family history in the area. If you do this, come with specific questions in mind. Nice exhibits about local history. A constructive visit for me.
