The Folsom House is a historic house museum at 272 West Government Street in Taylors Falls, Minnesota, United States.
Description and history[edit]
It is the restored former home of lumber magnate W.H.C. Folsom, who moved his family to the area in 1850. Folsom served as state representative for one term and state senator for six terms. The house is run by a partnership between the Taylors Falls Historical Society and the Minnesota Historical Society. It is in the Angel's Hill District of Taylors Falls, a New England–style village. The home is furnished with the family's original belongings, including a Hews rectangular grand piano, Folsom's library, and other personal effects.[2][3]
The house is one of two notable former Folsom properties. In Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, the W.H.C. Folsom House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
