Minnesota Dames tour LeDuc House

Minnesota Dames toured the William and Mary LeDuc house in Hastings for their fall 2018 program. Visit our Gallery for photos of our tour. Built between 1862 and 1866, the LeDuc estate's Gothic Revival design was selected by Mary Bronson LeDuc while General William LeDuc was away fighting for the Union in the Civil War. We learned of William and Mary's lives and those of their four children. Several of our Dames remembered Carroll Simmons, the antiques dealer who donated the house for preservation. Despite the chill, it was an enjoyable tour. Thanks go to the group that planned and executed our visit, including carpools. Members only: log in to see our photo gallery for this event.
