History
The first cabin built at the Lac qui Parle mission was completed near this site by Alexander Huggins and Thomas S. Williamson in October 1835 for the Huggins family. Originally a one-room 16-foot-square structure chinked with mud, it was later enlarged. Huggins taught Euro-American agricultural practices to the Dakota. Lydia Huggins, Alexander's wife, gave instruction on spinning and weaving cloth.
