Brown County Historical Annex
This 1939 Art deco style, (former gasoline station) building houses the museum's transportation exhibits and community meeting room. It was dedicated in 1999 and includes:

 Antique Automobiles - Here are a few 1920's-1940's cars and a truck currently on exhibit in the museum's Transportation Annex

 

 

 

 

 

Gasoline Age Memorabilia - Shell Gas Station and Retzlaff Motor Company 

 

 

 

 

 

                                1938                                                                            1999

Two views taken many years apart to show the remarkable preservation and adaptive reuse of the building. This transformation was made possible by the Minnesota Department of Transportation's ISTEA program and the citizens of Brown County.
