Bunnell House
In 1849, Chief Wapasha granted permission to his friend, fur-trader Willard Bunnell, to build a cabin. The Bunnell House in Winona is an example of Rural (or Steamboat) Gothic Architecture. Built of northern white pine and furnished with items appropriate to the mid-to-late 1800's, the home provides a glimpse into pioneer life.
