The Matt and Emma Hill Farmstead is a historic farmstead in Pike Township, Minnesota, United States. It was established in 1897 by one of many Finnish Americans who left employment in Iron Range mines to begin farming northern Minnesota's cutover forests. The farm was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 for its state-level significance in the themes of agriculture, architecture, and European ethnic heritage. It was nominated for reflecting the pivot of St. Louis County's Finnish immigrants from industrial labor to agriculture, and their use of traditional log architecture.
