Pettigrew Home And Museum
The Pettigrew Home and Museum is located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It is a historic house that was built in 1889 and in 1911 became the home of Richard Franklin Pettigrew. Pettigrew was the first senator for the State of South Dakota and loved to travel the world. He wore may hats and helped Sioux Falls grow. The house and museum are free to visit and they give daily tours of the house. I highly recommend doing the tour of the house - it was really fun and educational. There is also an outside tour you can do on your own which I also recommend. Donations are appreciated.
