Marker Text
This monument was created to forever make available the story of those Finnish people who early came to Brown and Dickey Counties, and settled there. Erected by the Savo Finnish Historical Society under the direction of John C. Peterson, the stainless steel plates are his painstaking handiwork. This monument and the land on which it stands, by Chapter 168, Session Laws of 1959, became the property of the State of South Dakota.
Location
