Sibley Historic Site will open on May 28th for the 2022 season. You can find more information on tours and programs by viewing our Hours & Rates page. 

The Sibley Historic Site includes four limestone and brick buildings that are among the oldest still standing structures in Minnesota. They include the Sibley House, the Faribault House, the Dupuis House, and a Cold Store. Today, the restored buildings help tell the history of the region's fur trade, Sibley's involvement in Minnesota business and politics, as well as his role in the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862.
