Preserving Sisseton History with the Stavig House Museum

Nestled in the heart of Sisseton, the Stavig House stands as a testament to the immigrant experience in America. In 2024, the Stavig House Museum completed fundraising of more than $120,000 to establish a permanent endowment fund at SDCF and was awarded $20,000 in matching funds from SDCF’s Nonprofit Savings Account grant program. Endowment funds are invested over time, and earnings create a long-term revenue source to support the organization.

Pat Gallagher, Community Development Coordinator for South Dakota Community Foundation (SDCF) joined John and Jane Rasmussen, Board President and Board Director of the Stavig House Museum to discuss their work preserving the Stavig House for generations to come.

In this episode, you will hear:

The history of the Stavig House
The Rasmussen’s experience establishing an endowment fund
How they hope their work will inspire future generations

“It is really fortunate that the home stayed in the Stavig family since the time it was built in 1916, and they chose not to modernize it over the years. This preservation reflects a different era and time, which is quite special.” - Jane Rasmussen
