The Anton Gogala Farmstead is a historic farmstead in Krain Township, Minnesota, United States. For over a century it remained a small-scale dairy farm operated by a Slovene American family, and contains traditionally constructed buildings and structures dating back to 1875, including several built of logs.[2] The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for its local significance in the themes of agriculture, architecture, and exploration/settlement.[3] It was nominated as the best surviving illustration of Stearns County's settlement-era farmsteads of the late 19th century, and for the Gogala family's key role in establishing the Slovene American community of St. Anthony a mile to the north.[2]
