July 19, 2013 Sioux Falls - Falls Park

We visited one of the most visited location in Sioux Falls, Falls Park a location that attracted people such as Lewis and Clark and many others speculating on the growth around the Falls. Then the Civil War broke out and people around the falls was having issues with indians in the area and the development all stopped.

After the Civil War prospectors and such began developing around the falls, an electric plant, a mill and prison has had their home around the area and quartz from the falls area was used for the construction.

Today you still can see how quartz was used in the area on buildings and homes.
