The E. St. Julien Cox House was the home of one of the earliest settlers of St. Peter. Eugene Cox was an attorney, St. Peter’s first Mayor, and a representative to the State House and Senate. The home, built in 1871, is one of the few fully restored Italianate homes in Minnesota.
The home was once the center of social activity for the booming riverside town. Today the home provides a colorful backdrop to programs, social gatherings, and group tours. The house is available to tour by appointment only for groups of 10+ people. Tours must be requested a minimum of 3 weeks out.
