The Rise of Sioux Falls is the story of the early town of Sioux Falls. This chronological look at Sioux Falls from 1856 to 1883 investigates events including land speculation in the Big Sioux River valley, the building of Fort Sod, the later abandonment of the settlement, the arrival of the military and construction of Fort Dakota, and the rise of a progressive city. This exhibit includes unusual artifacts, hands-on activities for families, and audio recordings of historic letters, all of which create a dynamic setting from which to explore the first 30 years in the history of South Dakota's largest city.
