The Paul and Fredriika Geranen Farm is a historic farm located east of Frederick, South Dakota. The farm's seventeen buildings include two houses, a barn, and a Finnish sauna. The farm was settled by Paul and Fredriika Geranen, a Finnish immigrant couple who moved to the land in 1893. In addition to farming, Paul ran a store in Savo. After the couple moved to Bryant, their son Fred rented the farm; Fred rebuilt the farm's sauna and added the second house.[2]

The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 13, 1985.[1]
