About

Seminary Fen was originally the site of Mudcura Sanitarium, a world-famous spa that was opened in 1909 and operated until 1951.

Per MNOpedia, in 1951, the sanitarium was sold to the Black Franciscans, Order of Friars Minor Conventual, from Louisville, Kentucky. They named it Assumption Seminary and the site became linked with both the Colleges of St. Catherine and St. Thomas in St. Paul.

The Seminary remained in operation until 1970 and then sat vacant for many years, becoming a popular hangout for teens and other thrill seekers. The main building burned and was demolished in 1997.

The land is now home to a Minnesota DNR Scientific & Natural Area that protects the rare calcareous fen that is now the star of the show here.

About

Aug 25, 2020

The site of an old health spa, and later a seminary, this SNA protects one of Minnesota’s finest, and rarest wetland types, a calcareous seepage fen! The mineral rich groundwater here support several rare species that need this type of ecosystem to thrive.

Seminary Fen SNA protects an important, and fragile part of the state’s natural heritage. Even if you don’t visit it yourself, you can rest easy knowing that this habitat is protected for the benefit of all Minnesotans for many years to come.
