The George Stoppel Farmstead is a pioneer farm located just outside the western city limits of Rochester, Minnesota, United States. The farmstead is owned and operated by the History Center of Olmsted County.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. It was nominated for being one of the few surviving mid-19th-century farmsteads in the urbanizing Rochester in the Rochester metropolitan area, with an architecturally distinctive farmhouse and smokehouse.[3]
