MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - A historic home in Mankato will once again opening its doors to the public.

The R.D. Hubbard House is opening up today for visitors to tour the Victorian-style building.

The Hubbard House is open Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
