Built in 1882 by the Secretary of Dakota Territory, this stately home is the tallest Queen Anne home in South Dakota. Make an appointment or just stop by in the summertime for a guided tour of this home and you’ll see many unique features. 

Heavy double doors in the front entry will be the first thing you see, in addition to combination gas and electric chandeliers hanging from high covered ceilings. The grandiose imported wallpaper in the parlors is still original! 

Oil paintings done by Alice Bullfinch Cramer decorate the walls; while the parlor set and other original furnishings throughout the house are proof of the devoted care of the Kenyon family. The entire home remains in original 1880s décor. The gardens surrounding the house are an array of perennial beauty, especially during the spring and summer. 

The home is open to guided tours from Memorial Day to Labor Day or by appointment year-round. The Cramer Kenyon Heritage Home is located at 509 Pine Street, or call (605) 665-7470 for more information. There is a minimal $2 admission fee.
