ATTRACTIONS
FORBIDDEN BARREL BREWING CO.
900 Third Avenue • Worthington, MN
Forbidden Barrel Brewing Co. offers a rotation of four to six original beers made on site as well as a variety of porters, stout, IPAs, honey wheats and other high-end brews. The name and logo are derived from an 1872 story about East Coast settlers who didn’t abide by Worthington’s temperance movement. During a Fourth of July celebration, Prof. Ransom Humiston, Worthington’s founder, learned there was a keg of beer in the Worthington House Hotel, so he seized it, dragged it outside and destroyed it with an axe.

HISTORIC DAYTON HOUSE
1311 4th Avenue • Worthington, MN
The Historic Dayton House is a genuine showcase of Worthington’s early days. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This magnificent house was built in 1890 by George Draper Dayton. He arrived in Worthington in 1883 and recognizing Worthington’s potential, helped establish a thriving agricultural community. In 1902, the family left Worthington to pursue a mercantile business in Minneapolis which later became Dayton’s Dry Goods Company, or simply Dayton’s. The house was purchased by Historic Worthington, Inc., an organization formed to preserve local historic buildings. Through thoughtful donations, this legendary home has been preserved for future generations.
