Tacy’s House

332 Center Street • Mankato, Minnesota

Frances “Bick” Kenney, daughter of Patrick and Rose Kenney, was born on July 13, 1891, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Kenney family lived in this house from 1898 to 1911.

Our BTS Shop is located in Tacy’s House, which is also a museum. On display are many Lovelace artifacts, including books, scrapbooks, photographs, manuscripts, and Mrs. Hart’s (Mrs. Ray’s) original brass bowl.

In 2010, the childhood homes of Maud Hart Lovelace and Frances Kenney were designated National Literary Landmarks by the Association of Library Trustees, Advocates, Friends, and Foundations, a division of the American Library Association.
