Costumed guides tell the story of the Gibbs family, beginning with the arrival of Jane DeBow (Gibbs) at Ft Snelling in 1835 and her relationship with the Dakota people at Lake Harriet. The story continues with the return of Jane and Herman Gibbs to St Paul in 1849, the growth of their family, and their farm. The site also interprets early 1800s Dakota Indian history because of Jane's unique relationship with them.
