The Herbert Maximilian Fox House is a historic farmhouse listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Sherburne County, Minnesota, United States. In 2006 it was relocated to the grounds of the Sherburne History Center in Becker, Minnesota.[2] Prior to that it was located off of County Road 69 in Santiago Township.
The farmhouse, a small subsistence-type rural dwelling of mid-19th century Minnesota, is an example of pioneer architecture utilizing load-bearing vertically arranged 2-inch-thick, 14-inch-wide, oak plank walls. [3][4]
