Frontenac State Park Gates

MnDOT Inventory Report

Located In: Florence Township, Goodhue County.

Constructed: 1925.

National Register: Not Eligible

A set of gates along the southwest side of modern U.S. 61/U.S. 63 near old Frontenac were once the gateway to the Munro House, better known as "Bramble Haw", both constructed in 1925. Coincidentally, the first paved highway past the estate was completed the same year.

The house has since been demolished. The gates now block public access to a service drive into Frontenac State Park.
