Arrowhead Park, Sioux falls, SD

Arrowhead Park, Sioux falls, SD

The park is named after a large, arrowhead shaped granite quarry that is one of three historic quarries now lakes in the park. Stones from these quarries were used to build Old Courthouse Museum building in downtown Sioux Falls.  Some claim the restored 1888 barn was designed by famous architect Wallace Dow , who is also known for designing the South Dakota School for the Deaf in Sioux Falls. Up for a walk try the hiking trails.

Open 5am-10pm daily.

 Built in 1888, The Barn’s design is unique in that the front facade was extended with a false “storefront” for commercial use as a stagecoach stop. Koch Hazard performed extensive historic research starting with the only photograph in existence of the Barn on it’s original East Sioux Falls site. Complete restoration of the exterior was accomplished using original historic components as a guide for reproduction of new materials where required. This project is a 2003 AIA South Dakota Design Merit Award winner.
