The next morning, Stacy accompanied us to the famous Pickler Mansion . Built in 1882, the pink mansion housed John Pickler , South Dakota’s first congressman and Civil War veteran, and his wife, Alice . The house was inhabited until 1954 and served as the polling place for the township
for many years. It also hosted visiting dignitaries such as Susan B. Anthony and Teddy Roosevelt . In 1987, the mansion was deeded to Faulk County Historical Society . Tours are now available in the summer, and the interior has been restored to appear as it would have looked in the 1890s.
