    Within walking distance of the Spam museum, the Hormel home is lovely. A guided tour will walk you through the home, with information on the home, family and business.

    Mr. and Mrs. Hormel's home is a gracious, stately mansion, yet it feels like a home. The woodwork and floors are all original and lovely.
  • By Hanevy White
    Elegant home, lots of history and interesting facts about the family behind such an iconic food. They ask for a $5 donation but it's worth it. The historian gives a short introduction but after you can roam around the house by yourself.
