Listening Point was the private retreat of conservationist Sigurd F. Olson (1899–1982) on Burntside Lake in Morse Township, Minnesota, United States.
[3] The historic district consists of five contributing properties: the cabin, the sauna, an outhouse, a dock, and the network of trails.
The property was nominated for its association with Sigurd Olson, whose writing and advocacy had a national impact on conservation.
Olson began his work in the 1920s, opposing development of the Boundary Waters, and capped his career with the passage of the Wilderness Act in 1964.
[2] The Listening Point Foundation offers tours and events at the site, designed to limit impacts to its historic and natural integrity.
