The Oliver Kelley Farm, located on the bluffs of the Mississippi River near Elk River, is an interpretive historical site that features an operational mid1800 farmstead. One feature of the farm is a historic garden where pioneer women and children raised vegetables for the family. Host Larry Zilliox visits with Andrea Krist, a site interpreter from the Minnesota Historical Society, who educates guests on the raising and preserving of vegetables in the 1850s.
