1. Informal Review – 1407 Larpenteur Avenue W, Townhome Proposal
Staff Liaison Lynch gave an overview of the information that the property owner
hand provided, and reminded attendees that is a workshop format, no action will
be taken, and there will be no approval or denial of any proposals, nor will any
recommendation be provided to city council. There have been no official
applications received for development at 1407 Larpenteur.
1407 Larpenteur Avenue west is currently a vacant dry-cleaning business,
among other things, dating back to a Shell Oil station in the early years of Falcon
Heights. It is currently zoned B1 – Neighborhood Convenience Business. It was
noted that if the property owner decided to move forward with a business listed in
the B1 zoning code, a public hearing would be held but if the applicant met the
requirements they would be entitled to a permit. Anything outside the list of the
B1 permitted uses would require a change to zoning and/or code to make it
feasible.
The draft proposal showed a total of two separate buildings running north-south
on the site, with five townhome units in each building. Access would be from
both Larpenteur and Albert Street.
Lynch noted the issues with the current plan as it relates to City Code. Among
them:
• Residential uses not permitted; R4 would be likely zone required
• PUD would be required for multiple buildings
• Building height and setbacks
• Access from Larpenteur must be removed
• Various engineering plans would be required for environmental and utility
concerns
• Comprehensive Plan update would be required
The Commissioners held an initial discussion on the suitability of the proposal.
The developer then spoke, addressing some of the initial concerns raised by the
Commissioners, along with providing additional information around his vision for
the property and constraints that drive the draft proposal to its current state.
The meeting was then opened to feedback from community members. Feedback
was generally consistent and included:
• Concern about not following setback requirements and setting precedent
for future development
• Traffic and street parking concerns
• Safety concerns as Albert Street leads north to Falcon Heights Elementary
School, and many people use it as a pedestrian thoroughfare to the
school.
The Commission had a closing discussion, with feedback to the developer that
the while a residential proposal would be suitable for the site, it would need to
closely align with current residential code requirements, including setbacks, to
have a reasonable chance of approval.
G. INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
1. Staff Liaison Report
Staff Liaison Lynch noted that the grant for the Larpenteur Corridor study has
been approved, with more information to follow.
2. Council Liaison Report
Mayor Gustafson noted several events, including the Ice Cream Social on

1. Discussion – City Code Updates
Staff Liaison Lynch explained the need for updates to City Code, citing the need
to clarify confusion portions or address areas that come up frequently in Code
Enforcement. She went through updates added and the Planning Commission
discussed. Updates included adding required information from the State in the
Stormwater Management chapter, making suggested changes to the Subdivision
chapter and allowing for an administrative process for a 2-lot subdivision, and
adding requirements for certification of taxes paid in the Zoning chapter for
amendments, variances, and conditional use permits. The Commission also
discussed the uses permitted in the different zoning districts and determined the
Larpenteur-Snelling Corridor Study would be a good opportunity for a discussion
around this.

ITEM FOR DISCUSSION
City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota
__________________________
Item Gibbs Farm Rezoning & Redevelopment – PUD Proposal
Description
Gibbs Farm is located at the intersection of Cleveland and Larpenteur Avenue.
It is owned by the Ramsey County Historical Society (RCHS), a 501c3.
Traditionally, it was assumed this organization was a department of Ramsey
County. This is not the case.
The purpose of this application is two-fold. Gibbs Farm is seeking a PUD to
add two additional structures and renovations to existing structures to their
land to allow the availability of the museum to students and families on a year-
round basis.
The first part of this application will be a rezoning, followed by the PUD.
PART ONE
The property was previously three parcels that have now been combined into
one. The westernmost portion of the property is zoned R-1 and the remainder
of the property is zoned P-1. P-1 zoning is intended for parcels that are not
subject to municipal zoning such as the University of Minnesota and the
Minnesota State Fair.
The P-1 zoning section 113-180 requires that:
“All public (city, state, school district, state fair, University of
Minnesota, and other) land owned and operated for public purposes is
zoned for what may be the most appropriate private use should the
land be sold, leased, or otherwise transferred from public ownership
and/or use.
(c) Allowed uses. The “public land” overlay district is in addition to and
not in lieu of the regular or original zoning district applied on the
zoning map with the following uses.
(1) Private use of land. Designate land areas that, if sold or
otherwise made available for private use, the city council shall
determine, after public hearing, the permanent zoning. No
Meeting Date September 26, 2023
Agenda Item Public Hearing E-1
Attachment See below.
Submitted By Hannah Lynch,
Community Development Coordinator
private building or occupancy permits shall be issued until said
determination is made by the city council.”
As the Ramsey County Historical Society is a private, not public, institution, a
zoning designation must be determined by City Council. B-2 zoning would be
an appropriate zoning district to designate this parcel. The only zoning district
in City Code that references a museum is in section 113-178, B-2 as item (d),
Conditional Use #8. Rezoning this property would allow the use, however the
buildings on the land would be considered legal non-conforming. As the
applicant is also wanting to construct additional buildings, it would be
appropriate to designate this zoning with a PUD overlay to bring all structures
into zoning compliance.
PART TWO
Gibbs Farm is an important historical and cultural site in Falcon Heights and
reaches approximately 15,000 students a year through field trips and summer
camps. As it currently stands, the majority of the site is only able to be
operated late spring-early fall.
In 2018, a Master Plan was completed for the Gibbs Farm site. As a result of
this, in 2020 the red barn was renovated to be a year-round facility. This PUD
proposal would allow RCHS to reach 30,000 students per year with local
history education, support an after-school program, increase the site’s rental
capacity, add safety and comfort features for guests, support increases in
general visitation, and create high-quality space supporting the preservation of
the RCHS collection.
Proposed Use
In September 2023, an application was received for a rezoning and PUD at the
Gibbs Farm site to allow for the addition of a 16,000 square foot education
building, a 4,000 square foot preservation facility, and the renovation of the
existing annex building. The zoning proposal would change the zoning
designation of the land from R-1 with a P-1 overlay to B-2 with a PUD overlay.
Below is an overview of the changes to be made as a result of this proposal. A
full description can be found in the applicant’s formal application and
narrative, attached to this RCA.
1. Current Admissions Building – To be demolished at start of
construction to allow for the new education building.
2. Annex / Gibbs Farm Office – Renovated to allow for accessibility.
3. Red Barn – Was remodeled in 2020. Not currently planned, but will
possibly look at a small addition to the west to allow for storage and an
enlarged catering kitchen.
4. Historic Gibbs Farmhouse – Will undergo necessary preservation
projects during site construction period.
5. Stoen Schoolhouse – Will undergo necessary preservation and
accessibility projects during site construction period.
6. Historic White Barn – In the coming years, the lean-to portion of the
lower level on the west side of the building will likely be rebuilt for
preservation purposes.
7. Replica Sod House – No changes proposed.
8. Replica Bark Lodge – No changes proposed.
9. Annex Garage – To be demolished and replicated in approximate size
during the construction / renovation of the Annex / Gibbs Farm Office
building.
10. Annex Poolhouse – May be demolished during the construction /
renovation of the Annex / Gibbs Farm Office building.
11. Parking Lot – Currently there is a 60-space asphalt parking lot located
on the northeast corner of the site. An additional curb cut onto
Cleveland is proposed for school bus use. There will also be an elevation
change to transition to the elevation of Cleveland Avenue more easily.
12. Outdoor Classroom – No changes proposed; are seasonal in nature and
are taken down and/or replaced every 3-5 years.
13. Sweat Lodge – Storage and restroom facilities for use by those who
participate in the usage of the sweat lodge will be incorporated into the
renovation or new construction of the Annex / Gibbs Farm Office.
14. Original Sod House Site – May be reopened in the future for further
excavation.
15. Site Trails – To be resurfaced and enlarged for accessibility.
16. Prairie – Will be maintained during and after construction.
17. Courtyard – No changes proposed.
18. Pasture – In the future, an approximately 240 square foot insulated
animal care shed will be added to the location.
19. Gardens and Orchard – No changes proposed.
20. Animal Pens – No changes proposed.
Additional Comments:
1. Class 5 aggregate paths across the site will be regraded.
2. Stormwater management will be included across the three main areas of
the property. Goal is to manage all stormwater on site.
3. A sidewalk between Cleveland and the easternmost part of the Gibbs
Farm Site will be constructed.
4. A 700 square foot plaza at the northwest corner of Larpenteur and
Cleveland Avenue will be constructed. Will also include a new
monumental sign identifying Gibbs Farm.
5. New education building will become the new “entrance” onto the Gibbs
Farm site.
6. New buildings, preservation facility and education building, are
designed to meet Minnesota B3 environmental standards. B3 guidelines
can be found at this link: https://www.b3mn.org/wp-
content/uploads/20210820_B3GuidelinesVersion32r01_Small-
Buildings-Updates-Final.pdf
7. A site survey was completed to locate all notable trees to guide
architects and construction firm to remove as few trees as possible.
8. In regard to phasing, the design development is complete. Construction
documents will be completed by October 2023. Historic building
preservation projects, site and landscape updates, a new animal care
shed/shelter, and updates to office and main parking lots are expected
to begin in 2024 and end in 2025. Construction may need to be
completed in phases; should that occur, and new construction
scheduled will be provided to the City. Renovation to the Annex
building is anticipated but not currently scheduled.
The Amendment Process
Notice Required
Planned unit developments may be permitted in the legislative discretion of
the city council. The application and hearing process for a planned unit
development is the same as is required for other zoning chapter amendments.
The standard notice requirement for amendments to a zoning district
boundary is mailing a notice to all property owners within 350’ of the
property. As a best practice however, the City mails to all property owners and
residents within 500’. The notice was also posted at City Hall and published in
the Pioneer Press on September 16 and September 18, 2023.
Comprehensive Plan Consistency
A PUD must be consistent with the city comprehensive plan and the intent and
purpose of the City Code provisions relative to land use, subdivision and
development. Gibbs Farm is considered a community and cultural asset and
public attraction within the City of Falcon Heights. This use would not be
changing, but rather expanding and rehabilitating to increase the availability of
this resource to the public.
Several relevant goals have been provided below for reference, however a full
copy of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan can be found online:
https://www.falconheights.org/government/departments/community-
development-planning-and-zoning/comprehensive-plan
From Falcon Heights 2040 Comprehensive Plan:
Larpenteur Corridor Goals:
2. To encourage the evolution of the Cleveland/Larpenteur hub into a
well-designed civic, cultural and recreational precinct and an attractive
gateway to both the City of Falcon Heights and the University of
Minnesota.
Historical Resource Protection Goals
1. To conserve historical resources in the community.
2. To protect architecturally significant structures of all ages within the

Gibbs Farm – Planned Unit Development Application
Introduction & Background
Ramsey County Historical Society (RCHS) is pleased to submit the following rezoning request for
the Gibbs Farm site located at the northwest corner of Cleveland Avenue and Larpenteur
Avenue. The Subject Site is comprised of approximately 8.25 acres of land with eight existing
buildings totaling 17,750 square feet located at 2097 and 2129 Larpenteur Avenue West in
Falcon Heights, Minnesota. The Site is bordered to the south by Larpenteur Ave West and to
the east by Cleveland Avenue. RCHS is proposing to add two new buildings, renovate the
Annex building, as well as make needed accessibility and landscape improvements to the
Gibbs Farm site. These buildings additions and site improvements will allow RCHS to reach
30,000 students each year with local history education, support an after-school program,
increase the site’s rental capacity dramatically, add safety and comfort features for guests,
support significant increases in general visitation, and create for the first time sufficient high-
quality space supporting the preservation of the RCHS collection.
Key Component Size/Location
1. 16,000 sf Education Building – replaces existing Admissions Building (800 sf) adjacent to
parking lot in the NE corner of the site.
2. 4,000 sf Preservation Facility – located directly west of existing Red Barn.
3. Renovate existing Annex building (5,400 sf) in same general footprint.
Gibbs Farm includes the Gibbs Farmhouse, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Gibbs Farm interprets 19th century Dakota and early Minnesota farming history. These
interpretive programs are centered on the seasonal life of the Dakota of Ȟeyáta Othúŋwe
(Cloud Man’s Village) and on the everyday life of Jane Gibbs, her husband Heman, and their five
children. Jane Gibbs was adopted by a missionary family and spend several years of her
childhood at Cloud Man’s Village. RCHS has been working with members of the Dakota
Community since 1998 to develop and present the Dakota program curriculum. Gibbs Farm
opened as a historic site for visitors in 1954.
Gibbs Farm reaches 15,000 students a year through field trips and summer camps. These field
trips are crucial for educators as they meet many state education standards in social studies.
Gibbs Farm also offers weekly public hours throughout the summer and early fall, large
community gatherings such as Apple Festival, adult orientated evening programs, virtual
programs, and rental opportunities.
Ramsey County Historical Society completed a Master Plan for the Gibbs Farm site in 2018. As a
result of the Master Plan completion, the Gibbs Farm Red Barn was renovated to be a year-
round facility in 2020, allowing for limited winter and off-season programming. Ramsey County
2
has generously funded the design development for the education building, collections
preservation facility, and site improvements. RCHS completing the design process with HGA
Architects and A&P Construction.
Building & Site Configuration & Design
The existing buildings are as follows (please see attached aerial map on page 11 for numbered
placement on site):
1. Current Admissions Building and proposed site of Education Building
The existing Admissions Building (800 square feet) is a wood-frame seasonal building used
as an entry to the site for public hours and programs. Although its appearance is historic, it
was constructed in 1985. It also houses the gift shop, two restrooms, and a breakroom area
for Gibbs Farm seasonal staff. The Admission’s Building will be demolished at the start of
construction for the new education building.
3. Annex/Gibbs Farm Office
The Annex/Gibbs Farm Office building (5600 square feet) is former home with a brick
façade. It was constructed in the 1920s and a significant addition was added in the 1980s.
RCHS acquired this property in 2005. It is used as an office for permanent staff and for
storage for Gibbs Farm program materials. The main floor includes a staff kitchen as well as
a large meeting space. Permanent staff also use the driveway for daily parking. This building
is not currently ADA accessible. This building will be renovated to allow for accessibility at
some point in the future.
4. Red Barn
The Red Barn (1900 square feet), a wood frame structure, was constructed in 1958 as an
interior seasonal space for educational programs. It was originally located on the south side
of the historic White Barn but was moved 90 degrees to its existing location in 1997. In 2020
the building was renovated to create a year-round heated space. During this process, the
second floor was mostly removed. A small section of the second floor remains on the north
end of the building and houses HVAC equipment. The building includes a caterer’s kitchen
and four restrooms. This facility is still used for educational programs as well as for rental
events. While not current planned, a small addition to the west may be added to allow for
storage and an enlarged catering kitchen.
3
5. Historic Gibbs Farmhouse
The Gibbs Farmhouse (4,500 square feet) is an original wood frame structure constructed in
three phases by Jane and Heman Gibbs. It was added to the National Register of Historic
Places in 1974. The first portion, a log cabin, was built in 1854. In 1867, a parlor and second
floor were added. The last portion, the “L” on the north side of the home was added in
1873. This building has been used for field trip and public tours since the opening of the
Gibbs Farm historic site in 1954. It is staged as a mid to late 19th century home. It does have
a basement that roughly matches the above ground square footage (parts of the basement
are original and some were added at a later time). It is used lightly for storage and houses a
gas furnace, water heater, and well pump. This historic building will undergo necessary
preservation projects during the upcoming site construction period.
6. Stoen Schoolhouse
The Stoen Schoolhouse (1,100 square feet), a wood frame building, was built in 1888 in
Milan, Minnesota. It was purchased in 1966 by RCHS and moved to the Gibbs Farm site. At
that time, it was placed on a modern basement foundation. It is staged as a 19th century
schoolhouse and it used for field trips and other educational programs. The basement is
used as a workshop and for storage of maintenance equipment. It does have a gas furnace
capable of heating the entire structure. This building will also undergo necessary
preservation and accessibility projects during the upcoming construction period.
7. Historic White Barn
The White Barn (2,700 square feet) was likely first constructed in 1887 with it likely being
rebuilt and added onto in 1910. It has a concrete foundation and wood frame. The lower
level of the building houses an indoor chicken coop, farm animal feed room, animal pens
used seasonally, and a garden tool storage room. A portion of the upper level is used for
programmatic purposes, while the remainder is used as storage for large items belonging to
the RCHS permanent collection. In the coming years, the lean-to portion of the lower level
(located on the west side of the building) will likely be rebuilt for preservation purposes.
8. Replica Sod House
The Replica Sod House (120 square feet) was constructed in 1999 based off archeological
evidence from the original Gibbs sod house site (located just east of the Gibbs Farmhouse).
It is constructed mainly from cast concrete with some wood elements. It also has a sod roof
made up of native prairie plantings. It is used for field trips and other educational programs.
9. Replica Bark Lodge
The Replica Bark Lodge (300 square feet) was constructed in 1999. It replicates a 19th
century bark lodge used as a summer home for the Dakota. The structure’s frame is made
of metal pipes wrapped in fiberglass. The frame is covered in fiberglass sheeting that
4
replicated sheets of bark. It has a concrete floor. The Replica Bark Lodge is used for field
trips and other programs.
10. Annex Garage
The Annex Garage (530 square feet) was built sometime between the 1920s and 1980s.
It is a wood frame building with aluminum siding and two single-car garage doors. It is
used for Gibbs Farm storage and maintenance purposes. This building will be
demolished and replicated in approximate size during the construction or renovation of
the Annex/Gibbs Farm Office building.
11. Annex Poolhouse
The Annex Poolhouse (400 square feet) was built sometime between the 1920s and
1980s. It is a wood frame building with aluminum siding. It has a single-car garage and
attached lean-to. It is used for Gibbs Farm wood storage and storage of sweat lodge
supplies (see other notable portions of the Gibbs Farm site for information on the Sweat
Lodge). This building may be demolished during the construction or renovation of the
Annex/Gibbs Farm Office building.
Other Notable Portions of the Gibbs Farm Site
Parking Lot
A 60-space asphalt parking lot is located on the northeast corner of the Gibbs Farm site.
An additional curb cut onto Cleveland Avenue will be added during construction of the
Education Building for school bus use. There will be an elevation change to transition to
the elevation of Cleveland Avenue more easily.
Outdoor Classrooms
Four outdoor spaces on the northern edge of the Gibbs Farm site are used as outdoor
classrooms to teach about Dakota seasonal life in the 19th century. One of these spaces
can include 1-2 tipi structures at any given time. These structures are not permanent
and are sometimes taken down seasonally and/or replaced every 3-5 years.
Sweat Lodge
Just North of the Annex/Gibbs Farm Office is a Dakota ceremonial sweat lodge was
constructed by Dakota partners of Gibbs Farm in 2017. It is used exclusively on a private
basis for religious/ceremonial purposes. Storage and restroom facilities for use by those
who participate in these ceremonies will be incorporated into the renovation or new
construction of the Annex/Gibbs Farm Office.
5
Original Sod House Site
Just east of the Gibbs Farmhouse is a fenced off area marking where the Gibbs original
sod house was located. In the 1990s an archeological dig of the site uncovered
thousands of artifacts as well as a general idea of how the home was built. This
information was used to create the replica sod house and is used in educational
programs. This archaeological site maybe potentially be reopened for further excavation
sometime in the future.
Site Trails
A paved trail runs from the parking lot on the north end of the site to the south end of
the site at Larpenteur Avenue. This is a service access drive primarily used as a
pedestrian path through the site.
There are also class 5 aggregate pedestrian paths throughout the prairie and to the
historic buildings on site. These will be resurfaced and enlarged for accessibility during
site construction.
Prairie
Gibbs Farm has 1.5 acres of restored prairie on the north end of the site. It was installed
in 1999 and will be maintained during and after construction.
Courtyard
A 800 square foot Class 5 aggregate courtyard is located on the east side of the Red Barn
and south side of the White Barn. It is used for programmatic purposes as well as rental
events.
Pasture
A grass pasture is located on the east side of the Gibbs Farm property along Cleveland
Avenue. It houses goats and sheep seasonally. An insulated animal care shed of
approximately 240 sf will be added in the future to the location marked 12 on the
attached aerial site map.
Gardens and Orchard
Several gardens are located throughout the site. A heritage apple orchard is located on
the southeast corner of Gibbs Farm. The gardens and orchards are used for educational
programming.
Animal Pens
On the north side of the Red Barn and west side of the White Barn, there are three
animal pens that house ducks, geese, pigs, and chickens seasonally.

Existing Land Use and Zoning Classification
According to the Falcon Heights Zoning Map, the Gibbs Farm site is zoned as P1/R1 Public Land,
Reverts to Single Family. The entirety of the Gibbs Farm site is owned and operated by Ramsey
County Historical Society as a private 501c3 non-profit organization. Since the opening of Gibbs
Farm as a historic site in 1954, the site’s primary use has been educating grade school children
and other public visitors about 19th century Minnesota. This will continue to be the primary
purpose of the Gibbs Farm site. RCHS is proposing to rezone the Subject property of Gibbs Farm
to a Planned Unit Development (“PUD”) to better reflect its use as a privately run educational
institution.
Surrounding Area Zoning
The land uses in the surrounding 1,000-foot radius can be separated into two general
areas/uses as detailed below.
Coffman Union at 1666 Larpenteur Avenue West is zoned as R4 Medium Density
Multiple Family Home and Townhouses. This property borders Gibbs Farm on the west half of
the south end of the site across Larpenteur Avenue.
University of Minnesota property consisting of the Bell Museum, Elizabeth Lyle Robbie
Soccer Stadium, Les Bolstad Golf Course, and agricultural test fields are zoned as P1/R1 Public
Land, Reverts to Single Family. These properties border Gibbs Farm on all other sides and
portions.
Gibbs Farm is surrounded almost entirely by University of Minnesota property that is zoned and
used for public purposes. Gibbs Farm has operated as a historic site focused on youth education
for 69 years, not dissimilar to the how the University land is used. RCHS proposes with this PUD
application to continue using the site in a manner consistent with the previous 69 years of use.
Given the long co-existence of the Gibbs Farm with its neighbors, and the continued use of
Gibbs Farm in the same manner as it is currently used, any variation in zoning between Gibbs
Farm and its neighbors is not believed to be material.
Proposed Timing and Phasing
Approving the requested rezoning provides the opportunity for RCHS to build several new
buildings that will allow Gibbs Farm to host 30,000 students a year, provide a state-of-the-art
facility for preserving RCHS collections, and an accessible office. It will also provide necessary
updates to landscaping, trails, and historic buildings. In order to minimize disruption to site
programs, particularly school field trips, it is projected that the Gibbs Farm Site will be closed
for one year starting September 2024, with some possible small program exceptions, reopening
in the Fall of 2025 with most construction completed.
Design Development is complete, construction documents will be completed by October 2023.
7
Historic building preservation projects, site and landscape updates, a new animal care
shed/shelter, and updates to office and main parking lots are expected to begin in 2024 and
end in 2025. It is possible that construction will need to be completed in phases, in that
circumstance an updated construction schedule will be provided to the City. Renovation to the
Annex building is anticipated but not scheduled.
Compatibility with Surrounding Area and Impact to City
The primary use of the Gibbs Farm site as an educational site will not change with rezoning and
the addition of new facilities, so its compatibility with surrounding areas will change little.
Newly constructed facilities will be designed with appearance that blend seamlessly with the
natural landscape of the site and surrounding properties. A year-round facility on the Gibbs
Farm property will allow for a continued strong partnership with the Bell Museum including the
possibility of dual field trip experiences and shared programs.
In the 2040 Comprehensive City Plan, Gibbs Farm is labeled as a cultural asset in the Larpenteur
Corridor. RCHS believes that the rezoning of the site and subsequent construction will
strengthen the community and cultural impact of Gibbs Farm. As mentioned above, it will also
bolster relationships with other institutions in the Larpenteur Corridor such as the Bell Museum
and University of Minnesota creating, as mentioned in the Comprehensive City Plan,
opportunities to promote the growing civic, cultural, and recreational precinct in the
Larpenteur/Cleveland area.
The proposed new buildings – Preservation Facility and Education Building – are designed to
meet Minnesota B3 environmental standards.
Rezoning Impact to Subject Property
Rezoning the Subject Property to Planned Unit Development (“PUD”) will allow for the
construction of several new buildings, much needed site accessibility updates, as well as
landscape changes that will better manage storm water. A site survey including the locations of
all notable trees on the Gibbs Farm property will also guide the architects and construction firm
to remove as few trees as possible. The requested zoning designation also expands usage of the
Gibbs Farm site and will contribute to the cultural growth of Larpenteur Corridor. The following
site improvements and updates will be completed as part of the Master Plan Construction
Project:
• The addition of two large new buildings, the education building and preservation facility
(proposed site of collections facility is at number 2 on the attached map). The
Annex/Gibbs Farm Office will also be renovated at some point in the future.
• Regrading of Class 5 aggregate paths across the site.
• Storm water management across three main areas of the property, behind the Red Barn
near the new Collections Facility, in the main parking lot, and on the north side of the
White Barn near the existing animal pens.
8
• The addition of curb cuts in the main parking lot to assist with the flow of school buses
through the main parking lot.
• A sidewalk between Cleveland Avenue and the eastern most part of the Gibbs Farm Site.
This will provide a safe path to those visiting Gibbs Farm on foot.
• A 700 square foot plaza at northwest corner of Larpenteur and Cleveland Avenue
intersection. This will facilitate pedestrians crossing from the Bell Museum or University
of Minnesota St. Paul Campus. This plaza will also include a new monumental sign
identifying Gibbs Farm.
• The demolition of the Annex poolhouse and garage as well as the existing Admission’s
Building.
Building & Site Reconfiguration
As the largest aspects of the Master Plan Construction Project is the construction of new
buildings, very little building reconfiguration will occur. Site reconfiguration will be minimal as
well as the main use of the site will only increase, not change. Reconfigurations of buildings and
areas of the site will occur as follows:
• As mentioned above, storm water management will occur across three main areas of
the property: behind the Red Barn near the new Collections Facility, in the main parking
lot, and on the north side of the White Barn near the existing animal pens. The design
goal is to manage all stormwater on site.
• There is currently only one entrance and exit into the main parking lot. A curb cut at the
southeast corner of the parking lot will allow for an easy and safe exit for school buses.
• The Plaza at the Cleveland and Larpenteur intersection will change the appearance and
configuration of that part of the Gibbs Farm property.
• Instead of a small Admission’s building on the south side of the main parking lot, the
16,000 square foot education building will become the new “entrance” onto the Gibbs
Farm site.
• There is currently nothing to the west of the Red Barn, the 4,000 square foot collections
facility will be constructed in this area of the Gibbs Farm site.
• At some point in the future, the Annex will be renovated to be ADA accessible, this may
alter the appearance and structure of the North side of the building. Design work
related to this renovation will begin in 2024.
• The addition of an animal care shed in the existing pasture may reconfigure where farm
animals are housed on the site. No official decision making regarding this new building
has been finalized.
Site History
9
The Gibbs Farm homestead was purchased by Jane and Heman Gibbs in 1849. It originally
consisted of 160 acres of land, 8.25 of which RCHS owns today. Initially, Jane and Heman built a
log and sod dugout just east of the existing historic Farmhouse. Heman Gibbs became a market
gardener, growing vegetables and fruits on a small scale to sell to community members and at
farmer’s markets. In 1854, the couple began to build a larger log cabin with loft that would
become the first part of the existing historic Farmhouse. This same year they adopted their first
child, Ida, and Jane gave birth to their second child, Abigail. They would have three more
children, Willie in 1859 (Willie passed of illness in 1867), Frank in 1862, and Lillie in 1865.
The family business was successful and in 1867 they sold portions of their property and
presumably used those funds to add the parlor and second floor onto their home that same
year. The growing business needed assistance from hired farmhands, so in 1873 the last
addition was added onto the home to provide accommodation for the hired hands on the
second floor and for the addition of a summer kitchen on the main floor. By 1875, only 75 acres
remained of their homestead.
The existing White Barn was built in 1910 (possibly added onto or built on to a foundation from
1887). Presumably another barn building existed prior to 1887. Several outbuildings including a
chicken house, granary, pump or well house, and icehouse were also added between 1870 and
1940. In 1873, a schoolhouse, funded by contributions from the Gibbs family, was built where
the Bell Museum stands today. Future lands sales had the schoolhouse (called the Gibbs School)
located on University of Minnesota Property. It was demolished in 2007.
Abbie Gibbs Fischer and her husband Rudolph Fischer continued to live and work the Gibbs
farm after the death of Heman (in 1891) and Jane (in 1910). Abbie passed in 1941 and in 1944
Rudolph sold the acreage and farmhouse to the University of Minnesota. By the late 1940s the
University made plans to demolish the farmhouse, but a local community group, led by Ethel
Stewart, got together and formed Ramsey County Historical Society in 1949. They petitioned
the University and acquired possession of the farmhouse. They also received money from
Ramsey County to renovate the home. In 1950, through a land exchange between the
University and Lester LeVesconte (Lillie’s son), the University deeded the house and 1.35 acres
of land to RCHS.
After extensive renovations to the Farmhouse, the Gibbs Farm Museum opened to the public in
1954. They welcomed field trip students and other visitors to the site to learn about late 1800s
farm life. The Red Barn was constructed in 1958 to support these programs. The Stoen
Schoolhouse was moved to the property in 1966 for program use as well. In 1967 RCHS was
granted use of the historic White Barn even though it was still owned by the University at that
time.
In 1973, six additional acres of land were acquired on lease from the University. In 1974 the
Farmhouse was listed on the National Registration of Historic Places. In 1978 the main parking
10
lot was constructed. In 1985 the Admissions Building was constructed and in 1989 the site was
connected to the city sewer system.
In 1995 the archeological dig of the original sod house site occurred. Constructing of the replica
sod house, bark lodge, and installation of the prairie subsequently occurred in 1999. Around
this time, previous RCHS Director, Priscilla Farnham spurred the addition of Dakota historical
interpretation. Jane Gibbs grew up with a missionary family at Cloud Man’s Dakota Village in
the late 1830s. This story was “rediscovered” by Priscilla and she soon established a Dakota
Advisory Board; this group included several descendants of Cloud Man that were familiar with
Jane’s childhood story. From this, a Dakota field trip tour curriculum was created and outdoor
classrooms were added on the north portion of the site to accommodate the new field trip. In
1997, the Red Barn was also relocated 90 degrees to its current location.
The Annex house and 1.5 acres of property were acquired in 2005 and in 2010 Gibbs Farm
offices were relocated to the Annex from the Schoolhouse basement. After the initial repairs to
the Gibbs Farmhouse, subsequent repairs to buildings and additions of gardens, fencing, and
animal pens were completed throughout the decades beginning in the late 1970s.
In 2012 the sidewalk was installed along Larpenteur Avenue (south end of property) from
Cleveland Avenue to the University property line. At this time, a berm was also added along
Cleveland and Larpenteur Avenues on the east and south property lines.
In early 2020 the Red Barn renovation was completed (designed by Snow Kreilich Architects).
The building is now a heated and insulated year-round program space.
