This Is At The State Line

Eight-tenths of a mile on into South Dakota is the site of Travare, first county seat of Roberts County 1883-85, where a sleigh load of Wilmontians stole the County Records one winter night after the Court refused them its aid. The Territorial legislature confirmed the thievery and Travare wasted away.

Location

Roberts County, 12 miles east and south of Sisseton
