Winnebago Agency
Under treaties in 1846 and 1847 the Winnebagoes were removed from Iowa to the Long Prairie reservation. Agency buildings and a school were erected about a quarter of a mile east of here and hundreds of acres were ploughed, but the Indians disliked the region and in 1855 exchanged these lands for others in southern Minnesota.
Verbatim 1940 text, presented as a historical record, not current interpretation. Minnesota now calls the 1862 conflict the U.S.-Dakota War and has since replaced the wording on some of these signs.
