==History==
In 1900, a Finnish family by the name of Siifert and Wilhelmiina Tapio purchased the present Finn Creek acreage from Herman Arola and the St. Paul Railway Co. The price per acre was about $3. and they purchased 80 acres. Construction of the Tapio's house began immediately, and the family moved into their new home in 1901. The Tapio family lived and farmed the land in the late 19th century. They had 9 children, five of whom lived to be adults (Sylvester, Maimie, Hilma, Hilda, Helga, Tecia, Ida, Sadie, Kalle). Kalle Tapio died at age 3 leaving Sylvester Tapio as the only son.
In 1975, the State Finnish American Historical Society purchased one acre of land at Finn Creek. Another 9 acres were purchased since that time through grants, local funding and promotions. The land was purchased from an individual land owner in 1975. Only the Tapio's had lived on the land. The buildings on the site were restored reminiscent of the late 19th century to the early 20th century.
