The house where Andrew J. Volstead, champion of the Volstead Act (also known as the National Prohibition Act), was privately owned until 1974 when it was designated as
a National Register of Historic Places and as a National Historic Landmark.
The residence was made into a museum by the Minnesota Association of Co-Operatives and given to the city of Granite Falls in 1979.
The Andrew J. Volstead House Museum is managed by the Granite Falls Historical Society, a volunteer based nonprofit dedicated to preserving the history of Granite Falls. The City of Granite Falls owns the historic structure.
