STAVIG HOUSE MUSEUM

Hans and Magnus Stavig emigrated from Norway to Sisseton, South Dakota and built an elegant three-story Victorian home in 1916. It has a wrap-around porch and a splendid corner tower. It is an historic artifact of a bygone era. Polished wood floors with glass and oak woodwork and ten bedrooms housed the family and other immigrants recently arrived. The Stavig home became a Museum bequeathed to Roberts County by Andrew Stavig's daughter, Matilda. She died at age 90 in 1994 after living her entire life in this house. A magnificent collection of letters written back and forth to relatives in Norway are worth seeing. Stavig House is open on Thursdays through Mondays, Memorial Day to Labor Day, 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. Admission $3.00. Contact Jane Rasmussen 605-698-3025.
