Restore The Farm 2026!

The Hill Farm Historical Society (HFHS) is a 501c-3 non-profit organization and is the caretaker of the nationally registered historic site, the James J Hill Farm, in North Oaks, Minnesota.  The site has three primary buildings that need restoration work.  In 2023, we launched a year-long campaign that raised $60k and this helped us restore our Dairy Building.  It was completed in 2024!  Thank you to everyone who helped make it a success including Donors, New Members and all who participated in our special events!  Stop by the Farm sometime or schedule a tour on our website so you can see the Dairy Building shining brightly!   Now, our focus has turned to the other two buildings on the property and their restoration cost of $120,000.  We are hopeful that over the next year most of these funds can be raised to allow us to move forward.  Therefore, our Restoration Campaign has evolved with a new name, "RESTORE THE FARM 2026!".

Please help us to restore the two remaining buildings on the property.  Click the DONATE button above or go to our own website (www.hillfarmhistoricalsociety.com) where you can become a member, keep track of our special events and/or donate.  If you are interested in avoiding all fees imposed by third parties, a check for your donation can be made payable to "Hill Farm Historical Society" and mailed to us at 35 Hill Farm Circle, North Oaks, MN  55127.

  All donations matter at any level and will make a difference!

Our Board is made up of all volunteers so 100% of the money that reaches us will go toward this project and is completely tax-deductible in accordance with tax laws.
