The Gibbs Museum of Pioneer & Dakotah Life has a full schedule of special events. Costumed interpreters give tours of the site, which includes a 19^th century farm house, unique one-room school house, barns, farm animals, replica sod house, Dakota tipi and artifacts, bark lodge, pioneer and Dakota gardens, and more.

The pioneer and Dakota aspects of the museum reflect both early farm life in Minnesota and Jane Gibbs’ friendship with the Dakota, who camped on the site as they headed north to gather rice.

In addition to the daily activities, there are also many weekdays with demonstrations or other programs.
