It was at this aptly named site that Joseph Renville worked with missionaries to create the first written Dakota alphabet.
This site is managed by the Chippewa County Historical Society.
Trek the trails on foot or horseback. Keep an eye out for wildlife, as the nearby Lac qui Parle Wildlife Management Area means you may come face-to-face with white tail deer, geese, swans, nesting pelicans, and other animals who call the area home.
