About 14 miles from Sioux City on the Military Road to Ft. Randall, this log house was built by Francis Reandeau around 1861. A Frenchman, he and his son Lyzimon, whose name is carved on one of the original logs, operated it as a stage stop, tavern, and store for more than a decade until the Dakota Southern Railway arrived in 1872. A highly polished wall from the original structure remains inside the house, which was recently renovated by its owner, Francis Chicoine.
