MONTEVIDEO The Chippewa County Historical Society will host an open house from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, April 25, at the Lac qui Parle Mission.
The Lac qui Parle Mission overlooks the beautiful Lake that speaks. The Dakota name for this lake was Mdaeyaydan, “lake that connects.” The Mission was begun in 1835 by the Congregational and Presbyterian ministries. The original church building was built in 1840 and is known as the first church and school erected in the Minnesota River Valley. The present wooden chapel, a Works Projects Administration building, stands on the site of the original adobe structure.
