Built in 1884 in Henderson, Minnesota, the August F. Poehler House is a Queen Anne–style residence constructed for August and Emilie Poehler and their six children. August Poehler was an early and influential settler and shopowner whose success in commerce was reflected in this fine residence, which exemplifies the ambitious domestic architecture erected by Henderson's prosperous entrepreneurs in the second half of the nineteenth century. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for its local architectural and commercial significance, the house has served as the Sibley County Historical Society Museum since 1949.
