The unique museum building was constructed in 1910 as the Federal Post Office. For many years, it was the focus point of downtown business. Today, the museum’s German Renaissance style attracts photographers, sightseers, and residents alike. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. During renovation of the building for its use as a museum, its original slate roof and most of its attractive architectural elements were retained.
The museum is located on three handicapped accessible levels. Inside are three floors of rotating exhibits, featuring an award-winning exhibit of the U.S.- Dakota War of 1862. It contains over 5,000 family history files to help researchers.
