Pond Mission
These foundations mark the site of a two-story frame building erected by the Reverend Samuel W. Pond in 1847. It served as a Presbyterian mission to the Shakopee Sioux, and as Pond's home until his death in 1891.
An eight-foot stockade enclosed the house and a half-acre garden.
The building was wrecked about 1907.
Marker is on County Route 101 0.2 miles east of County Route 17, on the right when traveling east.
