We offer two separate tours.  The local Dakotah culture will be the focus of one tour. The other tour will concentrate on the pioneer experience. Groups can also ask for tours with a special emphasis. For example a garden club may enjoy a landscape tour or a preschool group may want more time to visit the farm's animals.
