State Capitol
In 1857 the Legislature passed a bill for the removal of the State capitol from St. Paul to St. Peter, but the document was abstracted by Joseph Rolette, never reached the Governor, and did not become a law. The building erected for the capitol by the St. Peter Company, remodeled, still stands, one block west of here.
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.
