Welcome to
Dakota City!

Dakota City Heritage Village is a 1900-era village and museum dedicated
to connecting people to the rural past.  We're located in Farmington,
Minnesota, just 30 minutes south of the Twin Cities, on the Dakota
County Fairgrounds.
Our five-acre site includes 22 buildings where visitors experience living history firsthand
with costumed interpreters and demonstrations.  Events throughout the year focus on rural
life 100 years ago including how residents met their needs for food, clothing, shelter, and
social connection.

Ahlberg Heritage Center, our museum, houses more than 10,000 artifacts depicting social
and rural history, with an emphasis on agriculture.  See our Calendar page for hours and
upcoming events. In addition, Dakota City is available for weddings, family, and
organization events.
