Welcome to the Wanda Gag House! We are a non-profit, community-driven organization that exists to preserve the Gag House at 226 N. Washington in New Ulm, Minnesota. This house was built by Anton Gag in 1893 and served as a 'children's paradise' home to artists, authors and illustrators Wanda & Flavia Gag.
The association's mission is to establish and maintain an interpretive center, to interpret Wanda Gag and her extended family and the influence of the arts on area residents, and to collect and preserve physical objects that may relate to the arts of the area and to the history of Wanda Gag and her family.
We believe that art and preservation are essential parts of any thriving community. We also believe that art and history lift the spirit and raise the collective consciousness of the citizens of New Ulm and visitors.
The house is open for tours May through October, Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. and Sundays from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. The house is also open in December for the Christmas tree displays.
