Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929), usually characterized as an economist or sociologist, and best known for writing the book The Theory of the Leisure Class (ISBN 0140187952), lived about a mile northeast of town. His house and farm contained several innovations, including what is believed to be the first bucket elevator to be installed on a farm in Rice County. The house was renovated in 1994 as a historic site and is occasionally open to the public. As of November, 2003, it is for sale.
