William Warren Two Rivers House Site and Peter McDougall Farmstead

The William Warren Two Rivers House Site and Peter McDougall Farmstead (commonly referred to as the Warren-McDougall Homestead) is a historic farmstead near Royalton, Minnesota. The site was built in 1847, and was where William Whipple Warren wrote his recounting of the history of the Ojibwe people, titled History of the Ojibways based upon Traditions and Oral Statements.

The preserves around the farmstead measure up to 215-acres and consist of 18 different vegetative types, including prairies, savannahs, forests, swamps, and woodlands. About 145 birds and 13 mammals have been observed around the homestead.
