Presbyterian Church
Just west of this point stand the ruins of the first Presbyterian church built in Nicollet County for a white congregation. Organized in 1853 by Rev. Moses N. Adams of the Dakota Mission, this stone building was erected about 1858 and occupied until the summer of 1869. A memorial replica stands in Traverse des Sioux cemetery.
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.
