The Children's Preventorium of Ramsey County, a distinctive facility that operated from 1915 to 1953, was situated at 210 Owasso Boulevard in Shoreview, Minnesota, along the tranquil banks of Owasso Lake. Its primary mission was to protect children susceptible to tuberculosis, often due to family exposure, from developing the disease. Although the Preventorium is long closed, tuberculosis remains a public health concern, actively monitored and regulated across Minnesota, with Ramsey County continuing to track and treat cases. Today, remnants of the Preventorium's past endure, including a remaining wall. The property itself is still owned and operated by Ramsey County, now serving as a residence for individuals with diverse disabilities.
