The farm was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 for its state-level significance in the themes of agriculture, architecture, and European ethnic heritage. It was nominated for reflecting the successful conversion of St. Louis County's cutover forests into productive agricultural land by Finnish immigrants, and their use of traditional log architecture.
