Charles Weyerhaeuser was a lumberman who came to Little Falls in the late 1800's and opened the Pine Tree Lumber Company in 1891. Weyerhaeuser and his business partner Peter Musser had houses constructed along the bank of the Mississippi River near the Little Falls dam in 1898, with those houses (now known as Linden Hill) now on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Morrison County Historical Society was founded in 1936. Weyerhaeuser's daughter funded the Historical Society's first standalone building, which was designed as a memorial to Charles, focuses on the history of Morrison County.

The Charles A. Weyerhaeuser Memorial Museum is located at 2151 South Lindbergh Drive in Little Falls. More information can be found at the Morrison County Historical Society website.
