The Gregorius and Mary Hanka Farmstead is a historic farmstead in Embarrass Township, Minnesota, United States. It was established by a Finnish immigrant family around 1910 and includes four surviving buildings constructed with traditional Finnish log architecture.[2] The farm was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 for its state-level significance in the themes of agriculture, architecture, and European ethnic heritage.[3] It was nominated for reflecting the successful conversion of St. Louis County's cutover forests into productive agricultural land by Finnish immigrants, and their use of traditional log architecture.[2]
