The Sinclair Lewis Boyhood Home is a historic house museum and National Historic Landmark in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, United States. From 1889 until 1902 it was the home of young Sinclair Lewis (1885–1951), who would become the most famous American novelist of the 1920s and the first American to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature.[3] His most famous book, Main Street, was inspired by the town of Sauk Centre as Lewis perceived it from this home.[3]

The Sinclair Lewis Foundation acquired the house in 1956 and has restored to its appearance during Lewis's boyhood.[3] They offer tours regularly during the summer and by appointment throughout the rest of the year.[4]
