Mayo Home
In this residence from about 1858 until 1863 lived Dr. William W. Mayo, noted physician and father of the world-famous surgeons, Dr. William J. and Dr. Charles Mayo, the former being born here in 1861. During the Sioux attacks on New Ulm in August 1862, Dr. William W. Mayo acted as surgeon for the defenders.
Verbatim 1940 text, presented as a historical record, not current interpretation. Minnesota now calls the 1862 conflict the U.S.-Dakota War and has since replaced the wording on some of these signs.
