Dassel History Center is at 901 First Street North in Dassel MN, approximately 70 miles west of the Twin Cities on Highway 12.
The Universal Laboratories building is on the National Register of Historic Places and serves as the home of the Dassel Area Historical Society. From 1937 to the mid 1970s, Universal Laboratories provided raw ergot from the grain fields of the western US and Canada to pharmaceutical companies.  Critical drugs were produced from the ergot, saving countless military and civilian lives.
