The Europeans who moved to South Dakota in the 1800s lived in houses similar to the Sod House on our indoor prairie. They didn’t find many trees on the prairie, so they built their homes from what was available – the thick prairie soil, or sod. In the Sod House, visitors can stay warm by the stove, make pork chops and eggs, and wash and hang laundry.
